Amy Doliver, LCSW-R

Amy Doliver is a LCSW-R licensed in New York with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and trauma and abuse. She also works with people facing grief, parenting strain, addiction-related issues, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem.

Amy uses clear, goal-focused work in sessions. She draws on methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people name problems and try practical ways to change patterns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy when skills training or brief problem-solving fits better.

Sessions tend to include straightforward skill teaching, checking what has been tried, and planning small experiments between meetings. Amy concentrates on communication skills, coping tools for emotions, and steps to reduce unhelpful thinking and behavior. This approach aims to make day-to-day life easier to manage.

Clients often bring issues from blended households - step-parenting, merging routines, co-parenting with an ex, loyalty conflicts and the stress of a new partner and children. Amy talks through these practical pressures and focuses on workable strategies rather than theory.

Her background includes long-term clinical work in New York settings. She mixes short-term problem solving with longer work when needed. People who want clear, practical sessions that focus on concrete changes may find this style helpful.
