About Amy

Amy Doliver is a licensed social worker in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She guides clients through trauma and abuse concerns and supports those facing grief, addictions, parenting strain, and work-related wellbeing challenges. Amy uses a direct and calm style to help people take practical steps toward feeling better.

With two decades of experience in mental health, Amy focuses on clear goals and steady progress. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Solution-Focused techniques to set realistic, short-term goals.

Amy provides a straightforward, collaborative approach. Sessions tend to combine talk therapy with concrete tools clients can use between meetings. She pays attention to life circumstances like caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image, and work burnout when shaping treatment.

Clients often address communication problems, intimacy issues, attachment concerns, or challenges after separation and divorce. Amy also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care histories, abandonment, or related family patterns. Her work includes helping people with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with major life changes.

She aims to help people build coping skills, improve relationships, and find clearer direction in career and life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Amy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her clinical work. CBT helps people spot patterns of thinking that keep problems going and teaches practical steps to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and work stress. DBT focuses on skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships, which can help with anger, mood swings, and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amy will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift over time based on what is most helpful.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to use practical tools and worksheets between meetings. If you want to pursue remote sessions, check the available formats and scheduling details when you start the matching process.
