About Amy
Amy Silberman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 24 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, grief, and life transitions. Amy also lists blended family issues among her focus areas and helps clients address self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, sleep and eating struggles, and career questions.
She uses practical talk and focused interventions to help people sort out current problems. Sessions often look at patterns that keep recurring in relationships and at clear steps a person can try between meetings. Amy draws on Client-Centered ideas to follow what matters most to the person in the room. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and Mindfulness techniques to steady attention.
Over two decades of work in New York have given her experience with common life changes people face. That includes adoption and foster care topics, caregiving stress, fertility and fatherhood questions, and issues that come up when households merge. Amy also supports people managing chronic illness, pain, or aging concerns.
Her sessions are direct and practical. She helps people clarify goals, practice new ways of relating, and make manageable changes to daily routines. If someone is preparing to join a blended household or to co-parent across homes, she can help talk through roles, boundaries, and expectations.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Amy commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the individual and to prioritize the topics they bring. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping clients choose which issues to work on first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is also part of her work and involves identifying patterns of thinking and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or improve sleep.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit those aims. Decisions about which approach to emphasize are collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people use remote sessions to practice communication skills between households or to check in after a difficult family interaction, and a therapist can suggest how sessions might best fit into daily life.
