About Amy
Amy Doliver is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She also supports those coping with relationship and family concerns, addictions, grief, parenting strain, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Amy practices from New York and brings two decades of experience to her work.
Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. She uses practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and teach emotional regulation skills. Solution-Focused methods help set clear, short-term goals and track small steps forward.
Amy also draws on trauma-focused work when past events continue to cause pain. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through hard memories at a pace that feels manageable. Sessions often mix skills training, problem-solving, and reflective talk.
She frequently works with people facing life transitions such as divorce, caregiving stress, career shifts, or adoption and foster care related concerns. Amy pays attention to how attachment, abandonment, and blended-family dynamics affect daily life and relationships.
Clients can expect an active, collaborative style. Amy helps identify practical strategies for coping and supports realistic goal setting. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
Approaches that translate to online work
Amy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside Solution-Focused techniques. CBT focuses on identifying and changing thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to stress and anxiety, which can be practiced through exercises and homework. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process past events and reduce their ongoing impact by working at a steady, manageable pace. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to concrete goals and small steps that move someone forward.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then choose methods that fit those priorities. Plans can be adjusted over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it can reduce commute time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or avoid the need to arrange travel. Licensed professionals can use the same CBT, trauma-focused, and solution-focused tools in remote sessions as in person, helping people practice skills and track progress between appointments.
