About Ammari
Ammari Edwards is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, career concerns, and major life changes, and she notes additional focus on attachment issues and codependency.
She trained at New York University with a graduate degree in clinical social work. That foundation supports a mix of practical tools in sessions. She has also worked with World Trade Center first responders through the FDNY, which shaped her approach to trauma and high-stress work environments.
In sessions she takes a collaborative, person-centered stance. Conversations are used to set goals, weigh options, and practice new skills. She names and challenges unhelpful thoughts, and she introduces mindfulness and grounding techniques to manage strong feelings.
Ammari often uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). She also works from attachment-based ideas to help people understand relationship patterns and connections between early experience and current struggles.
Practical steps are part of the work. That can mean trying short behavioral experiments between sessions, rehearsing boundary language, or practicing emotion regulation skills. The focus is on what a person wants to change and clear, manageable steps to get there.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Ammari draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood difficulties by teaching practical skills to test thoughts and try new behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current relationship patterns. It helps people notice how they relate to others and practice different ways of connecting and setting boundaries.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and try small, concrete steps to see what helps most.
Confirm the available session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also allow someone to work on emotional regulation or boundary practice in between day-to-day responsibilities. If you want to explore this format, use the provided matching steps to learn the current session options and schedule a first meeting.
