Amy Schold, LCSW

Amy Schold is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, mood disorders, addictions, parenting challenges, and anger. Her focus includes depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related struggles that come up in daily life.

Amy uses a client-centered way of working. That means she listens first, then helps people set practical goals. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge unhelpful thoughts and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to manage intense emotions. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to change habits or maintain progress.

Sessions emphasize building skills that are useful right away. Amy helps people notice patterns, try small experiments, and practice strategies between meetings. She also uses mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Her work suits people who want clear steps and tools to handle mood swings, anger, or impulsive behavior. She also supports those dealing with family problems, divorce, guilt, shame, and process addictions. The approach is practical and aims to prepare people for future challenges, not just current ones.

People who begin therapy with Amy start by describing what matters most to them. From there she helps create a plan that fits the person's goals and daily life. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her two decades of clinical experience.
