About Amy
Amy Doliver is a New York LCSW-R with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, relationship tension, trauma, and related challenges. Amy focuses on clear, practical steps rather than long lectures.
She offers straightforward tools to handle snapping at loved ones, workplace frustration, and the slow build of resentment. Sessions often center on improving communication, setting boundaries, and managing strong emotions so they cause less fallout in daily life. Amy works with individuals on parenting strain, grief, addiction concerns, and self-esteem struggles.
Her approach uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Solution-Focused ideas guide short-term goal setting when clients want concrete changes fast.
Amy has a background helping people recover from trauma and abuse and supports those navigating divorce, blended families, adoption and foster challenges, and caregiving stress. She addresses intimacy and commitment issues alongside mood conditions like depression and bipolar concerns.
Practical planning is part of each session. Amy helps clients build small routines that reduce triggers, practice new communication habits, and track progress. The work is collaborative - she helps people test what works and adjust as needed before moving on.
