About Amanda
Amanda Adams is a clinician who focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life changes. She uses straightforward, down-to-earth language to guide clients through practical skills. Amanda draws on eight years of experience and holds MD and LCSW-C credentials.
Her sessions are client-centered and often include mindfulness practices to help people stay present and calm in tense moments. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Amanda brings narrative therapy ideas and offers motivational interviewing to support people ready to make changes. Amanda values practical tools. Sessions may include simple mindfulness exercises, skill-building for managing anger, or writing and expressive techniques to reframe difficult stories.
She also pays attention to how nature and animals can support emotional growth when that fits a person’s goals. People who struggle with relationships, communication problems, grief, trauma or ADHD often look for short-term strategies and clearer ways to cope. Amanda works with individual adults on these concerns, including those connected to veteran and armed forces issues.
She also supports LGBT clients and people facing self-esteem or depression concerns. Her style is collaborative and strengths-based. She helps clients identify what already works, then builds on those strengths to reach realistic goals.
The focus is on skills you can use between sessions to manage feelings and improve daily life.

How Amanda Uses Talk, CBT, and Mindfulness Online
Amanda uses client-centered listening to understand what matters most to each person and to guide sessions around their goals. This approach focuses on building on strengths and letting the person’s priorities lead the work. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify patterns of thinking that increase anger or anxiety and to practice new responses. CBT is useful for managing stress, mood shifts, and behaviors that get in the way of daily life. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help people notice reactions and calm the body in the moment. Simple breathing and grounding exercises are taught and practiced so they can be used during stressful times. Amanda treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try techniques together, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Online therapy makes these methods flexible and accessible. Video calls allow face-to-face work and demonstrations, phone sessions can fit into tight schedules or use less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging offer brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options let people keep momentum and choose what works with their daily life.Questions people ask about Amanda
