About Amanda
Amanda DiGenova is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with ten years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting challenges.

Amanda uses a mix of conversational and structured work. She listens to the problem and helps people set small, practical goals. Sessions often include skills practice, reflection, and coaching on communication and boundaries for home life.

Amanda also has experience supporting people through trauma, grief, anger, and career-related stress. Her background includes work with situations where legal or behavioral concerns affect family dynamics.
Amanda draws on both talk-based and skills-focused methods. She describes using mindfulness and strategies from cognitive behavioral and dialectical approaches to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping. She encourages clients to notice patterns and try small changes between sessions.
Her style is motivating and practical. Amanda integrates attention to body-based practices and complementary approaches alongside conversation and behavioral tools. People who want straightforward recommendations and steady support at home often find this approach useful.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Amanda uses client-centered therapy in session, which focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can name their priorities and next steps. This helps when someone wants straightforward support for parenting stress, relationship strain, or grief.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a method that breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday coping at home. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can ease heated moments and recurring conflict.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Amanda will collaborate with each person to test methods, adjust what’s not helping, and set practical goals that fit daily life. She aims to be direct about what to try and when to review progress.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with Amanda during your first scheduling steps about which session rhythm and format would best fit your routine.
