About Amy
Amy Conneely is a Licensed Certified Social Worker - Clinical (LCSW-C) in Maryland with 15 years of practice. She trained at Delaware State University and works with adults on common struggles like anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, substance issues, and anger.
Her background spans hospital and hospice care, oncology, home health, nursing homes, assisted living, substance abuse treatment, and residential programs for adults. That variety shaped how she notices stress and practical barriers people face when emotions spike.
In sessions she keeps things straightforward. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to look at thoughts and actions, and DBT skills to steady intense feelings and improve emotional regulation. Mindfulness techniques and client-centered listening are part of how she helps people slow down and notice what drives their reactions.
Amy also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify what matters to them and take steps that match those values, even when feelings are uncomfortable. She brings a strengths-based perspective and motivational interviewing to support change without pressure.
People who choose her often want practical tools they can try between sessions. She talks through specific steps for handling conflict, managing stress, or coping with grief. The focus is on usable skills, clearer thinking, and better choices when anger or overwhelm shows up.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Amy uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and patterns that keep problems going. She also relies on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal interactions. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will talk about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan together if something doesn’t fit. That means testing skills in real life and bringing back what worked or didn’t work for review. Confirm the session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules require it, and remove travel time so people can use a break at work or another quiet window. These practical benefits are about making therapy manageable and consistent, not promising a particular outcome.Areas of focus
