About Amy
Amy Doliver is a licensed clinical social worker in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. She brings two decades of experience to sessions and works with individuals on issues such as grief, addictions, self-esteem, and intimacy-related problems. She focuses on practical steps clients can use between meetings.
Amy uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills.
How Amy works
She also draws on Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused approaches to set clear goals and address painful past experiences. Amy describes therapy as a collaborative process. She listens first to understand each person’s priorities, then suggests strategies that match their daily life.
Sessions often include skill practice, problem-solving, and concrete plans to try between meetings. Her background includes long-term clinical work across a range of concerns, with particular attention to family and relationship dynamics and to issues like abandonment, attachment, and caregiver stress. That experience informs how she tailors support to each situation.
People typically meet by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Amy accepts clients internationally and conducts sessions in English. She works to make therapy useful and focused on the changes each person wants to see.

How Amy’s approaches work online
Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new skills.She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can be useful for coping with intense emotions and improving communication in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy talks with each person about their goals and preferences, then recommends strategies and tools to try. This collaborative process helps shape which methods are emphasized over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging offer flexibility for quick questions, reflections between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical progress and skill building.
