About Amy
Amy Silberman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 24 years of experience helping people through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and life transitions. She focuses on practical changes clients can use day to day and on improving communication and self-esteem.
She offers straightforward, talk-based work that looks at patterns in relationships and daily routines. Sessions often include problem-solving, examining past experiences that affect current choices, and learning small skills to manage anxiety and sleeping or eating concerns. Amy uses a mix of approaches to match what the person needs in the moment.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice with adults navigating pregnancy, career shifts, midlife changes, and caregiver strain. She also brings experience addressing adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, fertility and fatherhood questions, and chronic illness or disability concerns.
In the room she attends to communication problems, commitment and control issues, and struggles with dependent personality traits or emptiness. She also works with concerns such as compassion fatigue, ADHD, grief, and coping with separation or divorce. The focus is on finding practical steps that fit the client’s life.
Amy asks to speak once before scheduling a first session so prospective clients can confirm fit and format. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients.
BHow sessions work
How Amy’s approaches work in online sessions
Amy commonly uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s goals and present concerns. This approach focuses on listening closely and helping clients set the pace for what they want to address, which can help with relationship and life-change work.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety or improve sleep and eating patterns. Mindfulness Therapy is another tool she brings in to help people notice stress reactions and build simple attention and breathing practices for daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. Amy will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust methods over time as those needs change.
Session formats are not listed in the provided biography, so confirm current session options before booking.
