About Amy
Amy Silberman is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions. She focuses on practical steps clients can use right away to feel steadier and more in control. Sessions tend to be direct, compassionate, and focused on what matters most to each person.
Amy uses a mix of client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to help calm the body and clear thinking. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to understand how past experiences affect current choices. People come to Amy for help with self-esteem, communication problems, intimacy-related concerns, and the stress of parenting or caregiving.
She also supports those coping with grief, career shifts, sleep or eating concerns, and neurodiverse needs such as attention challenges. Practical problem solving and short-term coaching strategies are available when a focused plan is needed. Her approach is straightforward and warm.
Amy works to build a trusting space where clients can name patterns, test different ways of responding, and build routines that fit their life. Progress is tracked in simple steps so change feels manageable. Sessions are offered from New York by a clinician who holds an LCSW.
Conversations are in English and aim to leave people with clearer next steps and tools they can use between meetings.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Amy commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy means she follows the client’s pace, listens closely, and helps people set goals that feel right for them. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different actions to change feeling and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process. Amy works collaboratively to choose methods that fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she checks in regularly to adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for more in-depth work and visual cues, phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can support quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options offer flexibility to keep momentum while balancing work, caregiving, and other daily responsibilities.
