About Ammari
Ammari Edwards is a licensed clinical social worker in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, career strain, and big life changes. She brings 11 years of experience to conversations and aims to make sessions straightforward and useful. Her style is calm and respectful, with attention to practical tools people can use between meetings.
She listens for patterns in how people relate to others and to themselves, and she draws on Systemic therapy ideas to understand problems in context.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based methods to help people notice what matters and reconnect with important relationships. Sessions often include exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Ammari’s background includes graduate training at New York University and work with World Trade Center first responders through the FDNY, which shaped her approach to trauma and resilience.
That experience informs how she supports people managing panic, post-traumatic stress, and the fallout of high-stress work. Therapy with her is collaborative. She works with each person to set clear, achievable goals and chooses strategies suited to their daily life.
Expect a mix of talk, skill practice, and problem-solving tailored to personal values and needs. She offers a compassionate setting for people wrestling with attachment issues, codependency, relationship communication, grief, infertility and pregnancy-related stress, prejudice and discrimination, seasonal mood shifts, and somatic symptoms. The focus is on practical steps toward steadier mood and clearer choices.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Ammari often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their values and take small committed actions toward them. ACT focuses on what matters most to you and on building habits that align with those values, which can reduce avoidance and increase motivation.Attachment-Based Therapy is another core approach she uses to understand patterns in relationships. This method looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and helps people form more supported ways of relating to others and to themselves, useful for communication problems and feelings of isolation.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. She will work with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals and daily life. Sessions may blend methods over time so treatment stays practical and responsive to what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different needs. Video is good for deeper conversation and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging allow short check-ins, homework exchange, and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and life transitions.
