About Amy
Amy Doliver is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Registered (LCSW-R) in New York with 20 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and related challenges. Amy also supports work on intimacy, grief, addictions, parenting pressures, and career stress.
Her style is straightforward and skills-based. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice patterns, test different responses, and practice new reactions. Solution-Focused techniques are used to set clear, achievable goals and find what works in daily life.
Amy draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy when past harm is part of what keeps a person stuck. In those cases she helps people track triggers and build steps for tolerating difficult memories and feelings. She aims to reduce overwhelming reactions so people can make clearer choices about relationships and behavior.
Sessions often focus on concrete skills - breathing and grounding, changing thoughts that feed anger, and role-playing hard conversations. Homework is common: short, practical exercises to try between meetings and report back on.
Clients will find a pragmatic approach that centers on solving real problems now while addressing deeper patterns over time. Amy works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How Amy uses therapy approaches online
Amy commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing more useful ways of thinking and acting; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger linked to thinking patterns. DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling interpersonal conflict, which can help when strong reactions or recurring fights are a problem.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best. That means talking about goals, trying techniques in sessions, and adjusting the plan based on what helps most in daily life.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people practice skills between appointments in the settings where they actually live and work. Licensed professionals can guide using the same CBT and DBT tools that are used in person, with a focus on practical strategies for handling anger and improving communication.
