About Amy
Amy Doliver is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Registered (LCSW-R) licensed in New York with 20 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and related issues such as grief, parenting strain, and addiction. Amy aims to help adults who are managing difficult changes at home and at work.
She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. Conversations focus on improving communication, managing strong emotions, and learning skills to handle everyday strain. For people navigating trust or intimacy problems, she offers ways to repair connection and set clearer boundaries.
Amy draws from cognitive behavioral approaches to identify patterns that keep problems going. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Solution-focused techniques help set short-term goals and track progress.
When trauma or abuse is part of the picture, Amy applies trauma-focused work aimed at reducing the impact of painful experiences on daily life. She supports clients who are coping with adoption and foster care concerns, attachment wounds, and separation or divorce stress.
She works with adults on issues tied to caregiving, blended family dynamics, body image and eating concerns, ADHD-related struggles, and workplace stress. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on manageable steps that fit into busy lives.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Amy commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and elements of dialectical behavior therapy in her work. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective habits, which can reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning. DBT provides concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that help when feelings feel overwhelming or when relationships are strained.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will review your goals, symptoms, and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. The plan can change over time as progress, setbacks, or new priorities arise, and decisions are made collaboratively.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or removing the need to be on camera for every contact. Licensed professionals commonly adapt CBT and DBT techniques to remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings and apply them to family or parenting challenges.
