About Amary
Dr. Amary Alcide is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She brings 16 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting strain, grief, and mood concerns like depression and bipolar.
She also supports those facing career transitions, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. Her sessions focus on practical steps. She listens to each person's story and helps untangle what gets in the way of daily functioning.
Background and approach
Conversations aim to identify strengths and turn goals into doable plans people can use at home and work. Dr. Alcide draws on Narrative ideas and attachment-informed work to understand how life stories and close relationships shape behavior.
She also uses client-centered methods and cognitive-behavioral tools to teach coping skills and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical approaches help with emotion regulation and stressful moments. Her background includes academic research and applied work across interdisciplinary settings.
That experience supports an emphasis on approaches that are rooted in evidence and measurable progress. She frames sessions so people see clear steps forward rather than vague notions of improvement. Sessions are aimed at building practical skills, improving communication, and resolving role or family stress.
Dr. Alcide’s style is direct, collaborative, and solutions-focused, with room to process feelings and grief. She invites people to move from surviving to thriving by putting small, concrete changes into practice.

Online session options
How narrative and attachment ideas translate online
Dr. Alcide often uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. That approach looks at how personal narratives shape choices and provides ways to create new, more helpful stories. Attachment-Based Therapy is another influence and focuses on patterns in close relationships, helping people see how past bonds affect current reactions and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. That means trying interventions, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed path.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversations. Phone calls can fit a short break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between appointments and to reflect in writing. These options help people keep therapy consistent around busy lives and changing schedules.
