About Amy
Amy Doliver is a New York licensed clinical social worker with twenty years of experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with depression, and handle relationship and family tensions. She also supports those facing trauma, grief, addiction concerns, and struggles with self-esteem or body image.
Amy focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. She uses clear skill-building methods to improve communication and reduce intense emotions. In couples work she concentrates on repairing trust, improving listening, and rebuilding emotional closeness.
Background and approach
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to teach new ways of thinking and calming strong feelings. She also uses solution-focused tools to set short-term goals and trauma-focused methods when past events are central to current problems. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented.
Amy aims to make therapy feel useful from the start, with exercises and small practice tasks people can try at home. She works collaboratively to tailor strategies to each person's life and preferences. Clients often come for help with parenting stress, career transitions, chronic illness, commitment and attachment struggles, and coping after separation or loss.
Amy accepts international clients and offers multiple session formats to fit different schedules.
How these approaches work online
Amy commonly blends cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors to ease anxiety or depression. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then recommend techniques to try. That plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation from anywhere with enough bandwidth. Phone sessions can be easier when a quieter space is needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, short coaching-style support, or when writing feels more comfortable than talking.
