About Amy
Amy Heim is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with 15 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship difficulties. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at practical change rather than labels or jargon.
She uses clear conversation to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps that fit into real life. Amy encourages honest talk about feelings and patterns without judgment.
Her work draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to address topics such as grief, trauma, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people coping with life changes, career stress, and caregiving strain.
Specific areas Amy often addresses include body image, eating and food-related issues, ADHD, abandonment and attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, and fatherhood issues. She pays attention to how these problems affect daily routines and relationships.
Amy aims to help clients build clearer values, better communication, and more dependable coping skills. The work is collaborative: she listens, offers feedback, and helps people try different tools to see what helps. If you want practical support for making changes, she can guide the process.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Amy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections, helping people shift the ways they relate to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and will suggest methods to try. She treats therapy as a collaborative process where adjustments are made based on what helps the person move forward.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use a mix of approaches like ACT and attachment work in remote sessions to address anxiety, relationship patterns, and coping with life changes, while tailoring tools to each person's needs.
