About Ammari
Ammari Edwards is a licensed clinical social worker in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. She brings 11 years of professional therapy experience and a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. She works in a conversational, collaborative way.
Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on small, doable steps that fit daily life. Ammari listens for patterns in emotions and behavior and helps people try different ways of responding when old strategies stop working.
Background and approach
Her work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. That mix lets her address painful feelings, unhelpful thoughts, and the values that guide choices. She also pays attention to attachment concerns, codependency, and communication problems as part of relationship and personal work.
Ammari has experience supporting people affected by trauma, including time working with World Trade Center first responders through the FDNY. That experience shaped how she balances safety, pacing, and skills-building in trauma work. In sessions she uses practical tools such as mindfulness exercises, thought-restructuring, and goal-focused interventions.
Sessions are personalized and paced to the person, with an emphasis on building resilience and clearer decision making.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and work with strong emotions that shape their reactions and relationships. It focuses on identifying core feelings and learning new ways to respond when emotions become overwhelming.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills for accepting difficult feelings while committing to actions that match your values. It helps with anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck by clarifying what matters and building small habits toward those goals.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections and self-view. It can be useful for codependency, communication problems, and loneliness by helping people identify and shift unhelpful interaction patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan over time based on what helps.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals in formats that include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues; phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited; chat or messaging can work for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between appointments.
