Amy Frisch

Amy Frisch is a licensed social worker with 25 years of experience practicing in New York. She holds an LCSW-R and an LISW-CP and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Amy listens with patience and respect and adapts conversations to each person’s situation.

She emphasizes practical steps and steady support. Sessions focus on understanding what matters most to the client and setting small, doable goals. Amy helps people rebuild confidence, find motivation, and navigate major life transitions with clearer thinking and steadier routines.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She asks questions, offers observations drawn from experience, and works with clients to shape a plan that fits daily life. Expect a respectful, compassionate tone and direct tools for coping that can be tried between sessions.

Amy has worked across a range of mood concerns and life changes for over two decades. That background informs how she notices patterns, suggests coping strategies, and helps people make gradual changes. She supports conversations about life purpose and gender-related concerns when those topics matter to the person in front of her.

People often come to Amy wanting a clearer direction, relief from persistent worry, or help managing grief. She helps them take concrete first steps, adjust expectations, and build routines that support longer-term change.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Amy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and practical work. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing more balanced ways of thinking; this helps reduce persistent worry and low mood. Another approach centers on building routines and small behavioral steps to increase motivation and lift mood by creating predictable, manageable habits.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Amy will talk with each client about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then recommend approaches to try together. She adapts methods to suit the person rather than fitting the person to a single model.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing appointments from different locations. Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since specific options are not listed in the biography. Many people find remote work lets them keep continuity of care while balancing work, caregiving, or travel.
