About Amy
Amy Doliver is a New York licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and ADHD-related challenges. She supports people navigating relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, addiction issues, and trauma and abuse. Amy brings two decades of clinical experience to her work and speaks English.
Her approach is direct and practical. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map thoughts and behaviors that get in the way.
Background and approach
She adds skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Solution-focused strategies help set short-term goals and track progress. Amy often blends trauma-focused work when people bring histories of abuse or ongoing traumatic stress.
That can mean pacing sessions, building safety skills, and creating step-by-step plans for processing painful memories. She also addresses related concerns like body image, eating issues, and compassion fatigue. Sessions focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings.
Amy helps clients rehearse new communication patterns, set realistic routines, and plan workable supports. For many, this leads to clearer choices and fewer overwhelming moments. She aims for a calm, straightforward style that respects each person’s pace.
Amy works collaboratively to tailor methods to someone’s needs and goals, helping them move from coping to making meaningful changes.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Amy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that fuel anxiety or low mood, then lays out small experiments to test new habits and reactions. Trauma-Focused Therapy emphasizes pacing, safety skills, and gradual processing of traumatic memories so the work is manageable and steady.Finding the right approach is part of the first sessions. Amy works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and the issues they bring. She explains options, tries techniques together, and adjusts plans based on what helps most in practice.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer therapy conversations and practicing communication skills. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick skill reminders, brief coaching, and follow-up between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping continuity of care.
