About Amanda
Amanda Sholty is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She offers a calm, down-to-earth presence for people who are ready to talk about hard things. Her style is practical and person-centered, focused on what matters most to each person she meets.
She brings six years of experience across community behavioral health, domestic violence services, healthcare, and work with veterans. That range of settings shaped how she approaches complex problems.
Background and approach
She also supports caregivers who are coping with dementia-related challenges. Amanda uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Her work is collaborative. She treats the person sitting across from her as the expert on their life while offering practical tools and new ways of looking at situations.
Together they set concrete goals and try small, doable steps between sessions. Sessions often focus on building coping skills, managing anxiety, improving communication, or navigating life changes like grief, caregiving stress, or career shifts. Amanda supports work around intimacy, boundaries, addiction concerns, ADHD, and self-esteem in ways that fit each person's priorities.
How her approaches translate to online care
Amanda often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps toward them while learning to accept difficult feelings. It can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns, which can ease worry and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods fit best. That collaborative planning makes it easier to try techniques and adjust them as needs change.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation from wherever they are. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins, brief skill practice, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and daily life.
