About Amy

Amy Doliver is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Recredentialed (LCSW-R) practicing in New York with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family-of-origin concerns, trauma and abuse, and related issues listed in her specialties. She also addresses mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder, as well as challenges like addiction, grief, and changes in life circumstances.

She focuses on how patterns from childhood and family roles continue to affect choices and relationships today. In sessions she helps people name those patterns and try different ways of relating. Practical skills and clear steps are used alongside talk therapy. Amy often emphasizes communication changes and building reliable routines for managing stress and mood.

Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help with thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and coping skills. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy for short-term goal work and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past harms are part of the picture. These methods guide how she structures sessions and homework.

Her work includes support around parenting, blended family issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, and caregiving stress. Amy also addresses intimacy-related issues, body image and eating concerns, and career stress. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How her approaches translate to online work

Amy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her practice. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. DBT focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to help manage strong emotions and improve communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and recommend which methods to try. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively whether to focus on skills practice, short-term problem solving, or trauma-focused work at any stage.

The original biography does not specify which session formats she uses online, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online work can make it easier to carry skills over into daily life by practicing between appointments.
