About Amy
Amy Doliver is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. She offers steady support for depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Amy draws on two decades of practice and a practical focus to help people find clearer ways forward.
She prefers straightforward work in sessions. Conversations focus on concrete skills and small changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Amy uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills, emotion regulation, and clearer thinking. When trauma or painful past events come up, she applies trauma-focused methods to help people process what happened at a pace that feels manageable. Solution-focused strategies are used to set short-term goals and build momentum toward what matters most to the client.
Amy has worked in a range of New York settings over twenty years and brings that practical experience into each session. She helps people tackle parenting strain, caregiver stress, body image and eating concerns, and challenges tied to adoption and blended families. Her work also includes support for LGBT concerns and career-related stress.
Sessions aim to be collaborative. Clients can expect clear tools, direct feedback, and step-by-step plans. Amy encourages people to try small experiments between sessions and to track what helps most.

How Amy’s Approaches Work Online
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It helps with anxiety, low mood, anger, and behavior patterns that get in the way of daily life. DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive reactions. It is useful when strong feelings or anger feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then suggest CBT, DBT, trauma-informed techniques, or a mix that fits. Together they set short-term goals and check progress, adjusting methods as needed.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and working through exercises together. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or ongoing skill practice between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between appointments.
