About Amy

Amy Doliver is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-R) in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and eating or body-image concerns. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting pressures, addiction, grief, and life changes. Amy emphasizes practical steps clients can use right away to feel more steady and in control.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals and steady progress. She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach coping skills, manage strong emotions, and change unhelpful thinking. She also draws on Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused methods to address immediate problems and past hurts.

Amy brings two decades of experience to her practice and works in a direct, down-to-earth way. She listens first, then offers skills and small experiments clients can try between sessions. Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to how everyday life affects mood and behavior.

She has experience helping partners rebuild trust and improve communication. Amy helps people sort through parenting stress, caregiver strain, and challenges tied to adoption or blended families. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, grief, and the emotional toll of demanding jobs.

Clients who want to start typically complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment. Sessions are offered in English and Amy accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and the practice uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Amy’s Approaches Work Online

Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide clinical work. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and it is useful for anxiety, depression, and eating concerns. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing past harm and reducing its everyday impact, often by teaching grounding and emotion-regulation strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amy will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That conversation includes what issues matter most, what has helped before, and what the client hopes to change.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity when life is hectic or plans change. It also allows flexible check-ins and focused skills work that can be practiced between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to brief problem-solving sessions or longer work depending on what a client wants to accomplish.
