Background and approach
Her work draws on several well-known therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense emotions. Attachment-based ideas help when relationships and trust are central concerns. Over the years she has supported people through trauma, mood problems, panic, isolation, and difficulties tied to work and relationships.
She has experience working with World Trade Center first responders through the FDNY, which informed her understanding of trauma and resilience in high-stress roles. Sessions often focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and finding clearer direction during transitions. Ammari aims to create straightforward, respectful conversations that move toward practical change.
She is licensed as an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and carries eleven years of experience working in clinical settings in New York.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Ammari uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood shifts because it focuses on practical steps you can try between sessions.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships affect feelings of safety and connection. That approach helps when communication problems, codependency, or trust issues are part of the struggle.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Ammari will talk with you about your goals and try methods that match your needs and preferences. Over time she adjusts the plan based on what is most helpful for you.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you see facial expressions and use visual materials. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, ongoing support between appointments, and flexibility for busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life.
