About Amy
Amy Poplarski is an LCSW licensed in New York with 17 years of experience. She sees people who are dealing with stress and anxiety, relationship strain, family and parenting concerns, and major life changes. Her work also focuses on blended family issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, impulsivity, and young adult concerns.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what is getting in the way of daily functioning. Sessions look at thoughts, feelings, and habits that keep problems going. Amy draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thinking and on Solution-Focused Therapy to outline practical next steps.
Her approach is action-oriented and goal-focused. She and the client set small, measurable steps between sessions. These steps are used to test new ways of handling stress, conflict, and decision points.
Amy frames therapy as a collaborative effort. She listens for patterns in relationships and family interactions, then suggests concrete exercises and communication strategies. Homework might include thought records, short behavior experiments, or focused problem-solving tasks.
She asks clients to track progress and adjust the plan when needed. The emphasis is on skills that can be used in everyday life - managing anxiety on a short deadline, improving a difficult conversation, or navigating a family transition. To begin, readers are advised to confirm current session options before booking.
How her CBT and solution-focused work translates online
Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that increase anxiety and stress. CBT sessions focus on noticing specific thoughts, testing them with short experiments, and practicing new behavioral responses that reduce symptoms in day-to-day situations.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, brief goals and map small steps toward them. That approach keeps sessions practical and oriented to immediate problems like improving communication, handling a transition, or reducing caregiver burden.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Amy discusses clients' goals and preferences and adjusts methods as progress is tracked. She helps clients decide whether to focus on thought restructuring, short-term problem solving, or a mix of both based on what the client wants to change.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter focused check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions useful for practicing skills between commitments and keeping consistent appointments.
