About Ammari
Ammari Edwards is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, career concerns, and major life changes. She works with straightforward care and calm support to help people find next steps. Ammari brings 11 years of experience and practices in New York as an LCSW.
Her style is collaborative and respectful. She listens first, then helps set small, practical goals. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person sitting across from her - daily functioning, emotional relief, and clearer choices.
Background and approach
Ammari uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She blends Attachment-Based Therapy with acceptance and mindfulness strategies to address patterns in relationships and self-worth. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help manage intense emotions and reduce unhelpful thinking.
Her background includes work with World Trade Center first responders through the FDNY, which shaped her understanding of trauma and resilience in high-stress roles. That experience informs how she supports people facing post-traumatic stress, panic, and somatic symptoms. Sessions may include talking through relationship patterns, building coping skills, addressing codependency, and working on self-compassion.
Ammari aims to make therapy a practical part of life, helping people practice new ways of relating and coping between sessions.

Online support
Attachment and Skills-Based Approaches for Online Care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early patterns shape current relationships and emotions; it helps people recognize attachment styles and try different ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying values and taking actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, struggles, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This collaborative process makes it easier to adjust techniques over time if something isn’t working.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can fit a quick check-in or when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports short exchanges, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity when schedules change.
