About Amy
Amy Conneely is a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland with more than 15 years of experience. She trained in social work at Delaware State University, earning both a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work.
Her background includes hospital and hospice care, oncology and home health, nursing homes and assisted living, substance abuse treatment, and residential programs for adults. She helps people who are coping with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addictions, and caregiver strain.
Background and approach
She also supports those facing relationship and family tensions, parenting stress, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and life changes. Her work often includes concerns such as attachment issues, abandonment, blended family problems, chronic illness, and communication struggles. Amy centers the therapeutic relationship in her practice.
She treats people with dignity and respect and avoids judgment. She emphasizes a strengths-based outlook and works collaboratively to set goals that matter to the individual. Her approach pulls from several evidence-based methods.
She uses client-centered techniques to create a supportive space, cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and dialectical behavior skills to teach emotion regulation. Mindfulness and acceptance work are woven into sessions when useful. In practical terms, sessions focus on clear, doable steps.
People can expect a mix of short skills practice, reflective conversation, and problem-solving. The aim is to build tools that make day-to-day life feel more manageable and relationships less strained.

Online support
How attachment work and skills-based therapy translate online
Amy commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns and to help people build more supported ways of relating. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take committed action, and Client-Centered Therapy to maintain a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients guide the pace of work.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That might mean focusing on skills practice one week and relationship patterns the next, depending on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow visual connection for relational work, phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, frequent contacts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to use the communication style that feels most comfortable.
