Amy Silberman

Amy Silberman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 24 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting and family issues, grief, self-esteem problems, and life transitions including career changes and midlife shifts.

Amy focuses on practical conversations about what is and isn't working. She talks through communication problems, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, and the everyday strain of caregiving. She also supports people coping with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and the practical impacts of chronic illness and disability.

Her work draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thought patterns, trying small behavior changes, and practicing grounding or attention skills. She also draws on psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas when helpful to clarify patterns and set short-term goals.

Amy has particular experience with adoption and foster care questions, blended family dynamics, fertility and fatherhood issues, and challenges that come with aging and caregiving. She also helps with body image, commitment or control issues, and problems that arise around separation and divorce.

How her approaches guide online work

Amy often blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral approaches. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can clarify what matters and what to try next. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thinking and behavior patterns and uses small, practical experiments to test new ways of acting and thinking.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help with anxiety, attention, and managing stress in daily life. Mindfulness work usually involves simple attention practices and skills to reduce reactivity and increase focus during stressful moments. Amy treats finding the right mix of approaches as a collaborative process and will help clients choose strategies that fit their goals and preferences.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time between responsibilities. If a client prefers less time on camera, sessions can be adjusted to a format that suits their circumstances once options are confirmed.
