About Ammari
Ammari Edwards is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with 11 years of therapy experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and career or life transitions. She also offers focused support around attachment concerns, codependency, communication problems, isolation and mood-related issues.
She trained at New York University where she completed her graduate degree in clinical social work. That education gave her a foundation in evidence-based practices she still uses today. Over the years she has worked in settings that included services for World Trade Center first responders through the FDNY, which informed her understanding of trauma and resilience.
Her style is collaborative and respectful. She works with each person to set goals and build a plan that fits their values and daily life. Sessions mix practical skills with opportunities to reflect on patterns that keep problems going.
Ammari draws from a range of therapies such as cognitive behavioral work for unhelpful thinking and emotion regulation strategies for intense feelings. She also uses attachment-focused conversation to look at relationship patterns and client-centered approaches that center the person’s own goals and strengths.
People meet her for short-term problem solving and for longer work on recurring patterns such as codependency, panic symptoms, or the effects of past trauma. She encourages small, steady steps and checks in regularly to see what is working and what needs to change.
Approaches that guide online work
Ammari commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then make choices that match their values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and ongoing stress.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and behavior. It can help people who experience codependency, communication problems, or repeated relationship difficulties to understand their reactions and build different ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ammari will help you decide which methods fit your goals and preferences and adjust the plan over time. The process is collaborative and focused on practical steps that fit your life.
