AAbout
About Ammari
Ammari Edwards is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 11 years of experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, career concerns, and major life changes.
She draws on a range of practical, evidence-informed approaches. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on skills that help with daily life. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns. She also uses attachment-based perspectives to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions.
Ammari has experience supporting people affected by traumatic events, including work with World Trade Center first responders through the FDNY. That work contributed to her understanding of trauma responses and resilience after high-stress experiences.
Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented. Conversations are grounded in everyday concerns like work, family responsibilities, money, health, and community pressures. Plans and tools are chosen to fit practical goals and routines.
She trained at New York University and integrates mindfulness, narrative techniques, and problem-solving strategies alongside core therapeutic methods. People who meet with her can expect focused sessions that emphasize clear steps, coping skills, and attention to relationships that affect mood and stress.
BHow sessions work
Online approaches and how they fit daily life
Ammari uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT often includes clear exercises and homework to practice new skills between sessions. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationship patterns influence mood and reactions, which can help when communication patterns or closeness cause stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to test methods and adjust the plan based on goals, preferences, and how someone responds to different strategies. The choice of methods is flexible and revisited as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some clients find it simpler to join from work on a lunch break or to schedule sessions around caregiving and commute demands. Discussing practical needs during the first meeting helps set an approach that fits day-to-day life without promising a specific format.
