About Amary

Dr. Amary Alcide helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, and life transitions. She is Dr.

Amary Alcide, LCSW, and she writes practical plans with clients to address depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, low self-esteem, and career challenges. She also provides coaching for compassion fatigue and caregiving stress. Her style is straightforward and collaborative.

She uses clear goals and simple steps rather than long theory talks. Sessions focus on what to try between meetings and how to notice progress.

Background and approach

The aim is better daily functioning and steadier mood. Dr. Alcide draws on 16 years of clinical practice and research experience.

She holds a licensed clinical social worker credential - LCSW - and blends evidence-based therapies with attention to attachment and emotions. That background helps translate research into practical tools for everyday life. Therapy often includes skills training, communication work, and planning for concrete change.

Techniques come from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, emotionally-focused work, and attachment-based ideas. The therapist helps people learn coping skills, rebuild routines, and repair key relationships. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in Florida as well as international clients.

Services can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. A subscription model is used for sessions and can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationship patterns affect feelings and behavior. It helps people understand closeness, trust, and how to repair strained connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete coping skills and behavioral experiments.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what actually helps in daily life.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings. They allow continuing work on communication, coping skills, and planning from wherever the client is located, including international settings where the therapist accepts clients.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
