Amy Conneely, LCSW-C

Amy Conneely is a Licensed Certified Social Worker - Clinical (LCSW-C) in Maryland with 15 years of practice. She has worked in hospitals, hospice and oncology, home health, nursing homes and assisted living, substance abuse treatment centers, and residential programs for adults. Her work covers stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and caregiving fatigue.

She draws on practical therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) alongside acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and client-centered techniques. Sessions include skills practice, straightforward problem-solving, and attention to patterns that get in the way of everyday life. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used when helpful to foster small, usable changes.

Her background in medical social work and geriatric care shapes an approach that pays attention to health, chronic illness, and caregiving stress. That experience also informs work around adoption and foster care, blended family issues, and aging concerns. She has substantial exposure to substance use treatment and residential support settings.

Amy focuses on working with adults who are dealing with family conflict or parenting burdens, or who need help managing anxiety, grief, or mood concerns. She aims for clear, respectful conversations and practical steps people can use between sessions. People meet a clinician who prioritizes dignity and nonjudgmental listening.

For someone balancing household roles, caregiving, and personal stress, her sessions are geared toward realistic coping strategies and concrete behavior changes. The emphasis is on identifying strengths and building steady skills that fit daily life.
