About Amy

Amy Poplarski is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York with 17 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, and parenting challenges.

Background and approach

She focuses on practical support and individual growth, shaping conversations and plans to fit each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Her work includes attention to blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, communication breakdowns, divorce and separation, impulsivity, and concerns that often arise for young adults.

Amy emphasizes collaborative goal setting and a thoughtful treatment plan aimed at developing coping strategies, improving communication, and navigating life transitions. She invites clients to take the courageous step toward change and offers steady guidance through difficult moments, prioritizing healing and forward movement.

Practical approaches for online change and growth

Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helpful for identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then practicing concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and change patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying goals and strengths, using brief, goal-directed conversations to build on what already works and to produce practical steps forward.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is decided collaboratively. The therapist will work with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods over time to better match individual needs and changing circumstances.

Online sessions offer flexibility through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access support from home or work. These options allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care and to try different ways of engaging until they find what feels most effective.
