About Amy
Amy Freeman, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW and LCSW-C, is licensed in Maryland and has 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and anger. She says she helps people develop healthier coping mechanisms and thought patterns.
Amy uses clear, practical approaches in session. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and build skills for emotion regulation. She also incorporates mindfulness and trauma-focused strategies when those fit the concern.
Her background includes work in school settings with young adults aged about 15 to 22 who have developmental disabilities. That role involved coordinating with families and multidisciplinary teams such as special education, speech, occupational therapy, and behavioral staff.
Sessions focus on identifying current problems, practicing skill-based strategies, and adjusting patterns that keep difficulties going. Amy describes her style as nonjudgmental and accepting, and she prioritizes working with families and team members when that supports progress.
She helps people manage practical problems like school or life transitions, family-of-origin concerns, and mood instability. Other areas she addresses include codependency, grief from separation or divorce, fertility-related stress, and struggles with guilt, shame, or emptiness.
Appointments follow a straightforward process: complete a brief matching questionnaire, then schedule an initial session to set goals and decide the best therapeutic approach together.

How Amy’s approaches translate to online care
Amy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to manage strong emotions and impulsivity.She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without reacting, and trauma-focused techniques to address the impact of past harm. The therapist will collaborate with each person to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is made together during the initial sessions and can be adjusted over time.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online work useful because it can fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and mindfulness exercises to a remote setting so skill practice and homework remain a central part of care.
