About Amanda
Amanda Smith is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. She offers calm, direct support for depression, trauma, and problems with motivation. Her tone is practical and straightforward, with an emphasis on small steps that build better days.
Amanda keeps sessions focused on what matters most to each person. She listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and helps them try different ways of responding.
Background and approach
Conversations aim to be honest and down-to-earth rather than full of jargon. She draws on several approaches to shape therapy sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports taking values-based actions even when feelings are hard. Solution-Focused work helps find practical next steps and quick wins to build momentum. In practice Amanda uses short-term goals and real-world experiments.
Together with clients she sets simple tasks to practice between meetings and checks what helps. This hands-on focus is useful for anger, impulsivity, control issues, and communication problems. She has five years of professional experience and holds a Florida LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
Sessions are available in English and offered in formats that fit busy lives. Amanda aims to support people as they try new ways to handle tough feelings and rebuild confidence.

Practical approaches you can use online
Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change how they react to difficult thoughts and feelings. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to see what works. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values even when emotions are strong.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to try techniques, notice what helps, and adjust the plan based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process makes it easier to find strategies that fit someone's daily life and challenges.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging provide flexibility for quick touchpoints, homework review, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options help people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other demands.
