About Amanda
Amanda Naso is a licensed professional counselor with 11 years of experience based in Ohio. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, anger, and major life changes. Her manner is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at making the first steps feel manageable for someone who is nervous or unsure.
She prefers a warm, direct approach that encourages honest talk about difficult feelings. Sessions focus on practical strategies to manage strong emotions and reduce conflict.
Background and approach
Amanda offers space to name what is happening and to try small changes that can make daily life easier. Her background includes work with people navigating legal system involvement and those facing separation or shifts in family structure. She brings 11 years of clinical experience to help people sort out communication problems, guilt, substance concerns, and symptoms of mood or anxiety disorders.
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques matched to each person’s needs. In sessions she aims to build clear goals together and to teach tools clients can use between meetings. Therapy can include short skills practice, guided conversations, and planning for real-world situations.
The tone is practical and supportive rather than overly clinical. People who choose Amanda often want direct help with anger and with handling crisis moments more calmly. She encourages taking one small step at a time and offers steady guidance while clients practice new ways of coping.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage strong emotions and addictive behaviors. One common approach she draws on teaches emotion regulation and coping skills to reduce outbursts and intense reactivity; it helps people notice triggers, slow down reactions, and try alternative responses. Another frequent focus is relapse prevention and behavioral strategies for addictions, which look at routines, high-risk situations, and step-by-step plans to reduce substance use or compulsive behaviors.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Amanda will work with each person to identify goals, test techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps match practical tools to the client’s day-to-day needs and preferences.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and skills practice, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let clients check in between sessions, do short mood updates, or get brief coaching without a full appointment. These formats make it easier to fit counseling into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping progress moving forward.
