About Amanda
Dr. Amanda Veldorale-Griffin focuses on helping people who are anxious, stressed, or struggling with relationship and family concerns. She writes plainly and works in a collaborative way so parents and individuals feel heard.
She aims to make first steps into therapy less intimidating and more practical for daily life. She has been practicing for 17 years and holds the credential LMFT, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Her training includes graduate work in family relations and marriage and family therapy.
Background and approach
She draws on that background when addressing problems that involve relationships or family patterns. In sessions she uses straightforward conversations to clarify what matters most to the client. She leans on client-centered methods to listen closely and emotionally-focused ideas to help people identify and shift difficult interaction patterns.
Solution-focused techniques are used to set small, achievable goals between sessions. Her work often touches on concerns such as anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, depression, parenting strain, and questions about gender and sexuality. She also helps people navigate attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication breakdowns, and complex family histories.
Dr. Veldorale-Griffin offers video, phone, chat, and text options for therapy. Sessions are scheduled through a matching and booking process that begins with a short questionnaire and then a session time is arranged based on availability.
Subscription-based sessions may be canceled at any time.
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead to understand what matters most, which helps with anxiety, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape interactions and helps people express and respond to feelings in clearer ways, which can improve intimacy and reduce conflict. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical changes and clear short-term goals so people can see progress between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through what feels most useful and adjust methods based on the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits each person rather than forcing a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video helps when visual cues and fuller conversation matter. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, short problem-solving, or maintaining momentum between longer sessions. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
