About Amanda
Amanda Tindell is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can speak honestly, feel heard, and explore practical steps forward. Amanda uses straightforward language and a steady approach to help people who are struggling with depression, trauma, low self-esteem, or big life changes.
She draws on several methods to meet each person where they are.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioral techniques help identify unhelpful thoughts and build healthier routines. Mindfulness skills teach simple ways to notice and tolerate difficult feelings in the moment. Amanda also uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when appropriate for addressing traumatic memories.
Sessions focus on clear goals and everyday tools. Amanda helps people improve sleep, handle cravings or substance issues, and cope with relationship and family-of-origin problems. She also supports people dealing with adoption or foster care concerns, caregiver stress, body image, and the emotional effects of loss or disaster.
Her style is collaborative and practical. Amanda works with each client to set realistic steps, practice new skills between sessions, and track progress. She brings five years of clinical experience to her work as an LCSW, combining compassionate listening with active problem solving.
Therapy is offered in English, and sessions are provided through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Amanda does not take international clients and sees people based in Texas.
How Amanda’s approaches translate to online therapy
Amanda blends a few practical methods that work well over video, phone, or messaging. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression. Mindfulness therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices to lower stress and improve sleep. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is used to help people process traumatic memories with guided techniques when trauma work is appropriate.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what feels most manageable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep working on change between appointments.
