About Amanda
Amanda Adams is a licensed clinician who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and the everyday challenges of life change. She is also experienced with ADHD and issues tied to identity and relationships. Amanda speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps parents and adults can use right away.
She brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions and holds an MD and an LCSW-C. Her starting point is to listen first, then build on a person’s strengths.
Background and approach
She leans on mindful awareness and client-centered methods to create sessions that feel focused and manageable. Amanda often uses short, goal-focused strategies to help people gain control over symptoms and routines. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and narrative techniques to reframe personal stories.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone needs momentum to try new habits. Amanda values creativity and the natural world as part of healing. She sometimes brings expressive arts ideas into a plan or encourages attention to nature and animals to boost mood and calm.
Those choices are tailored to each person’s comfort and interests. Sessions aim to build clear skills for communication, coping, and daily structure. Amanda works with concerns related to veteran and armed forces issues and common communication problems by helping people set realistic steps and practice them between visits.
How Amanda’s Approach Fits Online Work
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s priorities first and starts with listening to what matters most. In online sessions this means agreeing on practical goals and pacing so each visit feels useful and relevant. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it works well over video or phone when people want concrete steps to change stress, anxiety, or routines.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build calm. These techniques can be practiced between sessions and are easy to guide over chat, phone, or video. Amanda will work together with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their goals and daily life, adjusting as progress or needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different preferences. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills that benefit from visual demonstration. Phone sessions can be a lighter option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to share quick updates, try brief coaching between visits, and keep momentum on homework or coping steps.
