About Amary
Dr. Amary Alcide helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and changes in life. She also supports concerns like parenting, self-esteem, grief, career stress, and mood shifts such as depression and bipolar challenges.
Dr. Alcide is a Florida LCSW - a licensed clinical social worker - with 16 years of experience. Her style is practical and collaborative.
She listens for strengths and small wins, then works with each person to set clear, doable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on real-life skills that clients can use between meetings, such as communication techniques, coping tools, and planning steps for change. Dr. Alcide blends approaches to match each person's needs.
She draws on attachment ideas to understand close relationships, client-centered ways to follow a person’s pace, and cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses emotion-focused and dialectical ideas when intense feelings or relationship patterns come up. Her background includes academic research and applied work across healthcare and community settings.
That mix helps her turn big goals into measurable, practical plans. She often helps people organize time, manage caregiver strain, and rebuild confidence after loss or disruption. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging to make support flexible.
International clients who prefer English can work with her. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
Online approaches that focus on relationships and practical skills
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape how people connect and respond to stress. It can help when relationship patterns, fear of abandonment, or attachment concerns make everyday interactions harder. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and pace; the therapist follows the client’s lead, offering empathy and acceptance so people can explore goals and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with workable alternatives, which is useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will try methods that fit the client’s needs. That collaborative process means plans are adjusted as progress is made and new concerns arise.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a brief check-in is needed, and messaging or live chat can suit people who prefer shorter, written touchpoints. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping therapy consistent.
