About Amanda
Amanda Adams is a licensed clinician who helps people cope with anxiety and the daily stress that comes with parenting and life change. She writes in a clear, patient way and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Amanda holds an MD and is a LCSW-C, which she uses to blend medical awareness with social work practice.
She centers sessions on each person's strengths and goals. Amanda listens first, then builds a plan with tools drawn from cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness.
Background and approach
Sessions often include simple skill practice to reduce worry and improve sleep and focus. Amanda also draws on narrative and solution-focused ideas. She helps people reframe unhelpful stories about themselves and spot small shifts that lead to better days.
Expressive arts and nature-based ideas are used when they fit a client's interests and sense of comfort. People who prefer a calm, collaborative tone will find her style suited to steady progress. She can talk through relationship communication and offer concrete exercises to try at home.
Her work often emphasizes skill-building for attention concerns like ADHD as well as emotional regulation strategies for anger and grief. Amanda practices in Maryland and has eight years of clinical experience. She works in English and offers sessions using several online formats, making it easier to find a rhythm that fits a busy family life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Amanda commonly uses client-centered therapy to shape sessions around each person's priorities. This approach means conversations focus on what feels most important to the client and on building on existing strengths to solve current problems.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks down unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness therapy is offered alongside CBT to help people notice thoughts and sensations without getting pulled into them, which can be useful for worry, stress, and attention difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, comfort level, and daily routine. That might mean starting with short skill-building exercises, then adding narrative or mindfulness practices as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is helpful for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can be useful for quick check-ins or brief coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between sessions.
