Amy Poplarski, LCSW

Amy Poplarski is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 17 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and family problems. She also supports those navigating blended family issues, caregiver stress, and transitions after separation or divorce.

Amy keeps conversations direct and practical. She uses goal-focused talk to clarify small, useful steps. Sessions often center on improving everyday routines, communication, and coping skills rather than long theoretical discussion.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means noticing unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors, alongside setting short-term goals and tracking what works. The emphasis is on doable changes that fit into daily life.

Amy aims to build a working plan together. She listens for specific pressures at home and suggests techniques for managing worry, impulsivity, or tense conversations. These tools are presented plainly so clients can try them between appointments.

People most often come with questions about stepfamily dynamics, co-parenting with an ex, or adjusting to new household routines. Amy offers straightforward guidance on communication strategies, boundary-setting, and parenting during household change. The focus stays on practical problem solving and steady progress.
