About Amy
Amy Silberman is a New York LCSW with 24 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns and helps people navigate grief, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions.
She prefers straightforward conversations that clarify what’s useful now. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer communication. She helps people sort through relationship dynamics and parenting strain so they can make steadier choices at home.
Amy draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s pace. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness practices are included when they help reduce reactivity and improve focus.
Psychodynamic ideas also inform her thinking about recurring patterns from the past. Solution-focused methods are used to identify small, concrete goals and what’s already working. Together these approaches shape short- and longer-term plans that fit daily life.
Amy has spent much of her career supporting adults during transitions such as parenthood, career change, pregnancy, and midlife shifts. She also assists people facing adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, fertility questions, caregiving stress, and chronic health challenges.
To begin she asks for a brief conversation before scheduling a first session. Sessions are conducted in English and are arranged from her New York practice. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Amy uses client-centered methods to follow what matters to each person. This approach focuses on listening, clarifying priorities, and shaping conversations around the client's concerns. It helps with relationship questions, parenting stress, and general life transitions.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers concrete exercises and short experiments that people can try between meetings to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or shift relationship patterns.
Mindfulness practices are introduced when they suit the client's goals. Simple attention and breathing exercises can reduce reactivity and aid focus during busy parenting days or when distress feels overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences early on and adjust methods as needed. That helps make sessions practical and relevant to everyday life.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals often use these benefits to help sessions fit regular routines without promising a specific format.
