About Amy

Amy Doliver is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-R) based in New York who brings two decades of professional experience to her practice.

Background and approach

She supports people coping with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, grief, addictions, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Her practice also addresses eating and food-related problems, caregiver stress, communication and commitment problems, and life transitions such as divorce and separation.

Her approach blends practical, skills-oriented interventions with trauma-informed care. Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients reframe unhelpful thoughts and build new behaviors, Dialectical Behavior Therapy to develop emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and Solution-Focused methods to set clear, achievable goals.

She draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy when past experiences are central to current difficulties. Across these methods she emphasizes collaboration, tangible strategies, and steady progress toward the goals each client identifies.

Clients who choose Amy can expect a professional, empathic partner who prioritizes actionable tools and realistic steps for change. She welcomes international clients and offers flexible session formats to fit different needs and schedules.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy



Amy frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, which can be practiced between sessions and tracked remotely. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and is useful for people who need concrete tools to manage intense feelings and relationship conflicts.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Amy works with each person to understand their goals, symptoms, and preferences, then adapts methods so they fit the client's life and circumstances. Over the first few sessions she and the client will evaluate what techniques feel most useful and refine the plan together.

Online therapy with Amy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for busy schedules, travel, or clients in different time zones. These formats make it simpler to maintain continuity of care and apply new skills in real time while receiving clinician guidance and feedback.
