About Amy
Amy Silberman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 24 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and helps people with self-esteem, communication, social anxiety, and life transitions.
Amy uses clear, practical conversation to identify what is most pressing and what can change. She draws on methods from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments in the real world. Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas also inform how she tracks patterns that repeat over time.
People often come to Amy for support around parenting, career shifts, fertility and adoption concerns, or caring for aging relatives. She also addresses grief, intimacy-related worries, sleep and eating troubles, chronic illness, and caregiver stress. Her approach connects everyday problems to recurring habits and emotions so they can be addressed directly.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Amy helps clients set short-term goals, practice skills between meetings, and reflect on relationship patterns that affect daily life. She encourages steps that fit into a client's routine rather than large, abrupt changes.
Amy asks for a brief conversation before scheduling a first session. That helps clarify goals and match expectations for the work ahead.
How Amy’s approaches translate to online work
Amy draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and helping people name their concerns so they can decide next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change what isn’t working.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy will discuss goals and preferences with each person and make decisions together about which methods to try first. That collaborative process helps keep sessions focused and relevant to everyday life.
Session format details are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a week - for example, scheduling a short check-in at midday, avoiding travel time, or choosing a phone session when bandwidth is limited. Amy’s methods lend themselves to practical homework, short in-between check-ins, and step-by-step skill practice that can slot into a busy routine.
