About Amy
Amy Klein is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in New Jersey with 25 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strains, low self-esteem, and anger. She also works with clients facing parenting challenges, career stress, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and life transitions.
Amy keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She listens to what is happening now and asks practical questions about patterns and triggers. Together with the person she looks for small, doable steps that reduce tension and improve day-to-day coping.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered work that focuses on the person in front of her. She also uses psychodynamic thinking to trace how past relationship patterns affect present behavior. Solution-focused techniques are used when people want concrete short-term goals.
Amy has helped people address issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family tensions, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication problems. She also supports those struggling with control issues, divorce and separation, substance use, family of origin wounds, guilt, shame, and hoarding behaviors.
Sessions are practical and aimed at reducing reactivity and improving relationships. Amy encourages people to notice what fuels their anger and to try specific strategies to respond differently. She will work with each person to set realistic goals and track small changes over time.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Amy draws on attachment-based work and client-centered methods to help people understand how early relationships shape their reactions now. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how those patterns influence anger and trust. Client-centered work focuses on the person's current experience and supports clear, nonjudgmental reflection on feelings and choices.She also uses psychodynamic ideas to explore recurring themes from the past that show up in current behavior. That approach can help when anger seems tied to old hurts or repeating relationship cycles. Together with the client she treats approach selection as a practical decision. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try approaches that fit those aims in collaboration with the person.
Confirm the specific online session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work, childcare, or travel and appreciate being able to have a shorter check-in when needed. Phone sessions can reduce the need for video bandwidth, while a video meeting lets a therapist and client use visual cues when discussing triggers and role practice. Ask which formats are currently available when you schedule.
