About Amary
She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships affect daily life. She uses client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on each person’s needs. She also employs cognitive behavioral tools and emotion-focused work to address thoughts, feelings, and patterns that get in the way.
Dr. Alcide brings 16 years of experience across clinical and interdisciplinary settings. As a published academic scholar she pays attention to research and translates findings into clear, doable steps. That means therapy often includes concrete strategies and simple plans people can try between sessions.
Her approach pays attention to life context - family, work, and community - when helping people set goals. Sessions focus on building skills, improving communication, and creating routines that make daily life more manageable. She frames progress as small, measurable changes rather than one big fix.
People who work with her can expect a collaborative tone. She invites clients to define what matters and then helps turn those goals into realistic actions. The emphasis is on empowerment and practical steps to help people thrive.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people understand patterns in close bonds and improve how they connect with others. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's experience, giving people space to set the pace and topics for sessions while the therapist listens and reflects. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with practical skills for managing mood and behavior.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and life situation. That may mean combining approaches or trying one method for a few sessions to see what fits best.
