About Amanda
Amanda DiGenova is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth work that helps people manage anger, anxiety, depression, and life stress. Amanda aims to create a calm, goal-oriented space where clients can make changes and feel steadier in daily life.
Amanda uses a mix of client-centered listening and structured tools to guide sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and dialectical skills to improve emotional regulation.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and existential ideas are woven in when people want to connect values with daily choices. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions often include clear skills practice, gentle reality checks, and short homework to try between meetings.
She explains techniques in simple language and helps people pick what fits their routines and goals. Amanda has about 10 years of experience working with issues such as family conflict, relationship strain, parenting stress, addiction concerns, trauma and grief, and identity questions. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image struggles, and workplace burnout.
People who prefer a holistic outlook will find her interest in complementary approaches relevant. Amanda frames progress as steady steps rather than sudden fixes. She encourages small experiments, ongoing skill-building, and attention to both thinking patterns and physical reactions.

How Amanda’s Approaches Work Online
Amanda commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy during online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people find their own answers; it is useful when someone needs space to talk things through and feel understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches concrete tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anger, anxiety, and low mood.Choosing the right method is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try approaches and adjust the plan based on what feels useful and doable in everyday life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video gives a near face-to-face experience for skills practice and coaching. Phone sessions can work well if bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging provide quick check-ins, shorter skills prompts, or homework support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping progress steady and practical.
