Amy Poplarski, LCSW - Therapist in New York

About Amy

Amy Poplarski is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, and parenting challenges. She works with adults who are navigating life changes and parenting demands. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping families find clearer ways to cope and communicate.

Amy draws on 17 years of experience in social work to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s situation. She listens for what matters most and focuses on practical steps that can be used between sessions.

Background and approach

This often means trying short, doable strategies first to see what helps. Her work covers blended family issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, and the strains that follow divorce or separation. She also helps with impulsivity and issues commonly seen in young adults.

Sessions combine problem-focused tools with opportunities to reflect on patterns that keep problems stuck. Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify thoughts and actions that affect mood and behavior. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to build on what already works and set clear, achievable goals.

These approaches help make therapy tangible and goal driven. She practices in New York and conducts sessions in English. Getting started is framed as a simple process of matching needs and scheduling sessions that fit a client’s life.

Amy emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior. In sessions this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce stress and improve reactions to family conflict. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and small changes that lead to quick, practical improvements. It helps clients set clear goals and notice what already helps at home.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process and happens together with the therapist. She will talk with clients about goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust methods based on what feels most useful. This collaborative process helps keep work focused and relevant to each family's needs.

Online sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to join sessions from home, use brief check-ins when needed, and maintain momentum between meetings. The aim is to make therapeutic tools accessible and practical for everyday family life.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
