About Amy

Amy Silberman, LCSW, draws on 24 years of clinical practice to help people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD-related concerns, and shifts in relationships and career. She uses a compassionate, client-centered stance to build understanding of each person's experience and to create practical strategies for day-to-day coping.

Background and approach

Her work often focuses on self-esteem, communication difficulties, intimacy struggles, sleep and eating concerns, and grief while also addressing broader life transitions such as career change and parenting adjustments. Grounded in evidence-informed methods, Silberman blends cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness with psychodynamic reflection and solution-focused planning to tailor treatment to individual needs.

She aims to help clients recognize patterns rooted in past experience, develop clearer communication, and cultivate resilience. Located in New York, she offers both short-term coaching-style work and deeper therapeutic exploration, guiding clients toward greater self-awareness and actionable change.

Prospective clients are invited to complete a brief match questionnaire and speak briefly before scheduling to ensure a good fit.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and flexible sessions

Client-centered therapy emphasizes understanding the client's perspective and building a collaborative relationship, helping people clarify goals and feel heard while exploring what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness therapy introduces present-moment awareness practices to reduce reactivity, support stress management, and foster greater emotional balance.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they may try different techniques and adjust the focus over time to support progress and fit changing circumstances.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access care around work and family schedules or during life transitions. These formats allow for ongoing support, skill practice between sessions, and timely check-ins, while enabling licensed professionals to tailor sessions to each person’s pace and goals.
