About Amanda
Amanda Adams is an LCSW-C (Maryland) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, and changes in life circumstances. She also addresses trauma, grief, anger, ADHD, LGBT concerns, and communication problems, and she lists veteran and armed forces issues among her focus areas.
Amanda uses an approach grounded in client-centered work and mindfulness. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps you can take between meetings. She draws on narrative methods to help people make sense of difficult chapters, and on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors.
Her background includes clinical social work practice and a creative arts influence. That creative side shows up in expressive techniques when they suit a person's needs. She also uses motivational interviewing to help clarify goals and encourage change without pressure.
Amanda describes therapy as a collaborative process. Conversations are aimed at improving day-to-day coping, communication, and problem solving. For someone juggling parenting, work, or care responsibilities, she emphasizes short, doable steps rather than large, abstract plans.
If you are considering work around relationship communication, parenting stress, or adapting after loss or trauma, Amanda offers practical methods and conversational tools. Confirm current session options before booking to ensure they fit your schedule and circumstances.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches fit with online work
Amanda commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you, helping clarify feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes to see what works for daily life.She also draws on mindfulness techniques to build attention to present-moment experience and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness practices can be short and practical, useful for stress, anxiety, and anger management in everyday routines.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Amanda treats that as a collaborative process: she will talk with you about goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust based on what helps. That shared decision-making guides how sessions evolve over time.
Confirm current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, or medical appointments and can allow for shorter check-ins when needed. If you prefer a style that emphasizes conversation, skills practice, or brief mindfulness exercises, those approaches translate readily to remote sessions.
