About Ammari
Ammari Edwards is a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of practice based in New York. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed by major life changes. Ammari also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse and people navigating career challenges. She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so people can use what they learn right away.
Her background includes a graduate degree from New York University where she built a foundation in clinical social work and evidence-based methods. Ammari has worked with a wide range of individuals and spent time supporting World Trade Center first responders through the FDNY, which influenced how she understands trauma and resilience.
Her style is collaborative and respectful. Sessions focus on the person’s values, goals, and day-to-day needs. She mixes talking, skills practice, and brief exercises so people can try new ways of coping between meetings.
She draws from several approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based work, and client-centered therapy. These methods are used to address mood difficulties, panic, relationship and communication struggles, and stress at work.
People seeking help with pregnancy and childbirth concerns, prejudice and discrimination, codependency, or feelings of isolation may find relevant support in her work. Ammari emphasizes realistic steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Therapeutic approaches and finding the right fit online
Ammari uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often includes simple homework tasks and clear strategies for mood and anxiety symptoms.She also draws from acceptance and commitment therapy, which focuses on values-based action and learning to live with uncomfortable feelings while pursuing meaningful goals. That approach can be useful for chronic stress, anxiety, and life transitions.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is a shared process. Ammari works together with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. Early sessions usually focus on practical goals and testing out techniques to see what helps.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and ACT exercises to virtual meetings so people can practice skills between appointments and track progress over time.
