About Ammari
Ammari Edwards is a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of practice in New York. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, career challenges, and big life changes. Her style is respectful and compassionate, focused on listening first and shaping treatment around each person's goals.
Her work blends several evidence-informed approaches. She draws from Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client's perspective and to support autonomy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts, while Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take action. She also uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy when they fit a person's needs.
Ammari trained at New York University, where she completed her graduate degree in clinical social work. That foundation guided later work with high-stress groups, including World Trade Center first responders through the FDNY, which informed her understanding of trauma and resilience.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Ammari works with people to set practical steps, build coping skills, and strengthen relationships with themselves and others. She emphasizes clear communication and measurable progress so clients can see change over time.
If you want a therapist who listens and adapts to your needs, she offers an approach that balances support, skill-building, and practical problem solving. Begin by describing what matters most to you and Ammari will help map a path forward.
How therapy approaches shape online care
Ammari uses Client-Centered Therapy to make the conversation feel guided by your priorities, with the therapist following your lead and reflecting what matters to you. This approach helps people who need space to explore feelings and decide next steps at their own pace.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where someone wants more meaningful direction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ammari will talk with you about your goals and preferences, and then suggest methods that seem likely to help. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as options are set by the therapist. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit daily life, such as fitting a check-in during a lunch break or choosing a shorter appointment on busy days. It also allows using written exercises, mindfulness practices, and behavior experiments between meetings so real-life change can be practiced and tracked.
