About Amary

Dr. Amary Alcide is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Florida with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting issues, self-esteem, grief, career questions, bipolar disorder, depression, compassion fatigue, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Dr. Alcide helps people clarify practical goals and turn them into steps they can use day to day. She supports women and couples with relationship challenges, women's health transitions like pregnancy and menopause, role stress, and family dynamics. Her style emphasizes clear, actionable plans rather than abstract theory.

Her work draws on research and clinical practice. As a published scholar she uses evidence-informed approaches to shape treatment and measure progress. That background informs how she breaks down problems and tracks small gains over time.

Therapeutic methods she uses include Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She mixes these methods to match a client's goals and circumstances rather than following one fixed model.

In sessions clients can expect straightforward conversations about patterns, emotions, and behaviors. The focus is on identifying what is getting in the way and then practicing different ways of responding. Practical skills, communication work, and short-term experiments are common parts of the process.

How her approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and attachment patterns in relationships. It helps people name difficult feelings and see how those feelings shape interactions with partners or others. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences affect current bonds and helps people develop more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and uses listening and reflection to help clients make their own choices and find internal resources.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit best based on current goals, relationship patterns, and day-to-day needs. That collaborative selection can shift over time as progress and priorities change.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the original biography lists messaging and video/phone conferencing hours. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time. Some sessions emphasize skill practice and brief experiments that can be done between meetings, which helps translate therapy into everyday routines.
