Amy Gardiner, LCSW

Amy Gardiner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and other life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use right away.

Amy uses cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and mindfulness techniques to help people notice patterns and try different behaviors. She often helps people break problems into manageable parts and practice new ways of responding. The work tends to be direct and goal-oriented, with attention to everyday routines and coping skills.

Many clients come with family and parenting pressures. Amy helps individuals talk through parenting strain, communication problems, and boundary questions. She also supports people dealing with loss, anger, mood swings, and the ups and downs of long-term caregiving.

With two decades of practice, Amy draws on simple tools that can fit into a busy life. She helps people plan small experiments, reflect on what works, and adjust as needed. Conversations aim to be clear and practical, not full of jargon.

People can expect sessions that look at thoughts, behaviors, and moment-to-moment choices. Amy encourages using mindfulness to reduce reactivity and solution-focused steps to move forward. Her approach is meant to be hands-on and oriented toward everyday problems and parenting challenges.
