About Amanda
Dr. Amanda Veldorale-Griffin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps people manage anger and related relationship stresses. She brings 17 years of clinical experience and a practical, down-to-earth approach.
Many people come to her feeling worried and unsure; she aims to make the first steps straightforward and respectful. Her sessions focus on collaboration. She listens first, then helps people name patterns that get in the way.
Conversations lead to small, concrete changes that are easier to try between sessions.
Background and approach
She emphasizes strengths and builds on what already works in someone’s life. Dr. Veldorale-Griffin uses approaches that focus on emotions, relationships, and solutions.
That means she pays attention to how feelings affect behavior, how interactions shape stress, and what simple steps can reduce conflict. She works with concerns such as anger, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and issues around intimacy and sexuality. She is a Florida and Oregon Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - LMFT.
Her training includes graduate degrees in family relations and marriage and family therapy, and she has nearly two decades of practice experience. Her background also includes work with LGBT clients and people navigating gender dysphoria and non-monogamous relationship arrangements. She can support parents coping with caregiver stress, people facing prejudice or discrimination, and those addressing attachment or family-of-origin issues.
People meet her most often online through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She encourages a collaborative pace and practical tools so clients can notice real change between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience. In practice she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people decide which changes matter most. This approach is useful when someone feels overwhelmed or unsure where to begin.Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on feelings and how they shape interactions. She helps people name emotions, track how those feelings affect behavior, and practice new ways of responding. This can be helpful for reducing reactivity and improving closeness in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they check what helps and adjust as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility that many people need. Video calls let body language and tone guide the conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can work when a camera is not preferred. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, quick coaching between sessions, or ongoing reflection on homework and goals. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep progress moving forward.
