About Amanda
Amanda Naso is a licensed professional clinical counselor practicing in Ohio with 11 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, anger, and big life changes. She aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.
Amanda offers calm, straightforward sessions where people can name what they are feeling and begin to sort through it. She focuses on practical strategies for managing panic, social anxiety, mood difficulties, and substance use concerns.
Background and approach
Conversations center on what feels most pressing and what small changes might help day to day. Her background includes work with people affected by divorce and separation, blended family issues, domestic violence, and involvement with the legal system. She also addresses communication problems, infidelity, guilt and shame, paranoia, self-harm, and personality and trauma-related concerns.
This range gives her experience with many kinds of stressful situations. Amanda prefers to collaborate on goals and plans rather than prescribe one way forward. She listens first, then suggests tools people can try between sessions.
Those tools often focus on breathing and grounding, improving communication, and building routines that reduce reactivity. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Amanda describes the work as a team effort: she supports each person as they try things, adjust, and move toward more stability.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and coping skills. One common approach she employs emphasizes behavioral strategies and skills practice to reduce anxiety and manage panic attacks; this involves trying small changes, tracking reactions, and building routines that interrupt cycles of worry. Another key approach centers on cognitive techniques that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-life experiments, which can reduce social anxiety and persistent negative thinking.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Amanda works with each person to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they try different tools, review what helps, and adjust plans so work between sessions feels useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are close to an in-person visit and let the therapist observe nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow quick reflections between sessions, and support people who prefer typing over talking.
