Amanda Clark is a therapist who uses practical, person-focused approaches to help people cope with stress, anxiety, anger, and changes in life. She holds an MD and is a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical, and brings three years of professional experience to her work. Amanda keeps sessions straightforward and respectful.
She listens to what matters most and builds a plan around each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings as well as talking things through in the moment.
Background and approach
Her work addresses mood concerns like depression and bipolar symptoms, self-esteem and motivation, and the emotional effects of trauma and grief. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues, communication and commitment concerns, and stress related to caregiving or career changes.
Other areas of attention include ADHD, eating and food-related issues, chronic pain or illness, blended family and adoption questions, and topics connected to kink and alternative sex culture. Amanda pays attention to how multiple problems interact, such as co-morbidity or compassion fatigue.

Approach-focused care online
Amanda often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy during online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thought patterns and behaviors, and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda will talk with each person about goals, past attempts, and what feels useful. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust the plan as needed in later sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit busy days and different comfort levels. Video works well for fuller conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people use brief messages for focused check-ins or when typing feels easier.
