Ammari Edwards, LCSW, integrates practical, research-informed therapy methods to support concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It can help someone identify unhelpful patterns and practice more balanced ways of responding to everyday stressors and mood shifts.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skill-building for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and steadier relationships. It can be especially useful when emotions feel intense or hard to manage in the moment.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult internal experiences while taking steps toward what matters most. It can support people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their goals and values.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ammari works collaboratively with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and to shape a plan that feels realistic and supportive over time.
