About Amary
Dr. Amary Alcide helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with life changes, grief, career challenges, depression, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and codependency. Dr. Alcide brings 16 years of clinical practice as an LCSW and aims to make therapy practical and useful for everyday life.
Her style is direct and collaborative. She focuses on clients' strengths and the systems around them - like family roles, work, and community - to build realistic plans that fit daily life. Sessions emphasize clear steps you can try between meetings, not just talk about problems.
Dr. Alcide mixes methods from attachment-based, client-centered, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, and emotionally focused approaches. She draws on academic research to shape interventions and measure progress, translating studies into simple tools people can use at home or at work.
A large part of her work helps people improve communication, set boundaries, and manage emotions so relationships feel more balanced. She also supports clients dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image concerns, and issues around abandonment or commitment.
Based in Florida, she brings both clinical experience and scholarly insight to therapy. Her aim is to turn abstract goals into concrete plans so clients can move from surviving to thriving. If you want a focused, action-oriented approach, she frames the work in steps you can actually use.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds shape current connections; this approach can help with relationship strain, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name strong feelings so they can respond differently in relationships and communicate needs more clearly.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography lists messaging and video/phone conferencing hours but session options can change. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to maintain continuity of care across locations for international clients. The therapist uses evidence-based tools adapted for remote work so conversations lead to practical steps clients can use between meetings.
