About Amanda
Dr. Amanda Ferrari helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or fed up with the same patterns. She focuses on practical changes that reduce stress, manage anger, and improve everyday relationships.
Dr. Ferrari is a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, based in Connecticut with nine years of experience. Her style puts the person in the lead.
She works from a client-centered stance, listening first to what matters to each person.
Background and approach
Then she offers tools drawn from mindfulness, dialectical behavior therapy, and solution-focused methods to meet real life needs. Sessions often focus on small, clear goals. That might mean learning breathing or grounding practices for strong emotions.
It can also mean building communication skills for tense conversations or steps to manage impulsive reactions. Dr. Ferrari also helps with mood concerns such as depression, bipolar symptoms, seasonal mood shifts, and anxiety.
She supports people facing substance use, grief, or compassion fatigue and those navigating identity and self-worth questions. Her approach is collaborative and practical. Together with each person she identifies priorities, tries short experiments, and adjusts what isnt working.
The aim is better coping, steadier mood, and healthier connections over time.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on what matters most to the person. The therapist listens deeply and helps people name goals and take small steps toward them. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive actions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and increase present-moment awareness.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to try methods that match their needs and preferences. Together they set goals, trial different skills, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online sessions offer flexibility. Video calls let people connect face-to-face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework review, or practicing skills between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent despite busy schedules or changing routines.
