Amy Doliver

Amy Doliver, LCSW-R, helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, and relationship strain. She offers steady support for grief, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem or addiction. Amy works with clients who want clearer communication, better boundaries, or practical ways to cope when life feels overwhelming.

Amy brings two decades of clinical experience to her practice in New York. She focuses on short, concrete steps clients can try between sessions. Conversations are direct and practical - learning new skills, testing what works, and adjusting as needed.

Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to manage intense feelings. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set reachable goals and trauma-focused work when past events keep disrupting daily life.

Amy aims to create a calm, goal-oriented space for people to practice healthier habits. She often helps partners repair trust, improve communication, and deepen emotional connection. For individuals, she builds plans to manage anger, reduce avoidance, and rebuild routines after big changes.

Clients can expect clear, stepwise plans and regular check-ins on progress. Amy emphasizes collaboration - clients and therapist choose what to try next together. If you want practical tools for anger, anxiety, or relationship struggles, she can help you get started.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Amy uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice thought patterns that fuel anger or anxiety and to practice new, more helpful responses. CBT sessions typically focus on concrete exercises and behavioral experiments that can be applied between meetings.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal communication. These tools are useful for managing intense reactions and improving everyday interactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and life situation. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans based on what is proving helpful.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, avoid travel time, and practice skills in real-life settings. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or phone-only conversations when video is not needed. Discussing practical needs during the first scheduling step will help identify the best way to meet regularly.
