About Amy
Amy Freeman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses mindfulness as a core part of therapy. She blends practical breathing and awareness skills with talking through problems so people can feel steadier. Amy writes plainly and keeps sessions focused on real-life changes that fit day-to-day routines.
She has eleven years of clinical experience and holds an LCSW and an LCSW-C in Maryland. Her background includes work with young adults ages 15 to 22 with developmental disabilities in non-public school settings. That work involved coordinating with teachers and therapists to address learning, behavior, and social needs.
Amy helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood patterns, ADHD, anger, and trauma-related concerns. She also supports people facing family of origin issues, relationship separation, fertility stress, feelings of emptiness, and struggles with guilt or impulsivity. Her approach is practical and straightforward.
Therapy sessions combine mindfulness exercises with cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy when helpful. Trauma-focused strategies are used for those who carry past hurts that affect current life. Amy emphasizes learning coping skills and changing unhelpful thinking patterns.
Her style is nonjudgmental and accepting, focused on building a steady therapeutic relationship. To start, she asks people to complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions that match their needs and availability.
How mindfulness and skills work in online therapy
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices to help calm intense emotions and refocus attention; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and mood regulation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear, homework-style exercises that can be practiced between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete coping tools for emotion regulation and managing impulsivity, and can be paired with mindfulness and CBT techniques for people dealing with mood swings or anger.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time so therapy feels useful and realistic.
Confirm current session options before booking to learn which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when a full visit is hard to schedule. It also lets people practice mindfulness and skills in their everyday routines so new habits can form between meetings.
