About Amary

Dr. Amary Alcide is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 16 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting, self-esteem, grief, career issues, depression, bipolar disorder, and codependency among other concerns.

She helps people who keep putting others first and those struggling with family dynamics or role stress. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. She draws on research and real-world practice to shape clear plans rather than vague ideas.

In session she combines approaches that fit the person’s situation. That can mean looking at attachment patterns in relationships, using cognitive tools to change unhelpful thinking, or building emotion regulation skills. Conversations are meant to identify what is getting in the way and what small changes might make daily life easier.

Her background includes work in interdisciplinary settings and published academic research. That experience informs how she turns goals into measurable, usable actions. It also shapes a focus on life skills like time management, career planning, and handling caregiving stress.

People often come for help with dating, marriage, divorce, women’s health transitions, blended family issues, chronic illness, or caregiver burnout. She supports clients who want concrete strategies for coping, clearer communication, and stronger boundaries. The emphasis is on practical progress that fits each person’s life.

How sessions work

Approaches used and how online sessions work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current interactions and closeness. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in relationships and supports building more secure ways of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and on clarifying a person’s own goals. The therapist follows the client’s concerns and helps people find their own direction for change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and the everyday habits that keep problems going.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods match a client’s needs and goals. That may mean combining techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is tracked.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also help when quieter surroundings or reduced screen time are required. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to focus on skills practice, communication work, and planning practical steps that translate into everyday routines.
