About Amanda
Amanda Mason is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Clinical Social Worker (CSW) licensed in Georgia with 17 years of experience. She focuses on common and complex emotional concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, stress, parenting strain, and relationship difficulties. Amanda also works with people affected by trauma, addiction, and identity issues including LGBT concerns.
She helps adults who are dealing with life changes like divorce, caregiving, a cancer diagnosis in the family, or end-of-life decisions. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Amanda uses straightforward methods to reduce overwhelming feelings and to help people make manageable changes.
Her background includes long-term work with survivors of sexual assault and those facing post-traumatic stress. She brings experience with seasonal affective disorder, bipolar-related concerns, and challenges tied to aging or dementia caregiving. That experience informs how she prioritizes immediate needs versus longer-term planning.
Amanda draws from several approaches to tailor conversations and strategies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps spot patterns that maintain problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports making values-based choices even when emotions are strong. Narrative and Solution-Focused techniques are used to reframe difficult stories and to set small, achievable goals.
Sessions tend to focus on clear steps, coping skills, and problem-solving that fit daily life. People who want practical tools alongside space to process often find this style useful. To start, readers are encouraged to confirm current online session options before scheduling.
How sessions work
How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work
Amanda often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. ACT focuses on identifying values and committing to actions that matter, even when feelings are difficult. It can help with grief, caregiver stress, and choices after life changes. CBT looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and anger.Therapy style is collaborative. Amanda will work with each person to figure out which approach or mix of approaches fits their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as needs change, so the plan can shift toward skills work, narrative reframing, or short-term solution-focused actions.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce commuting time. It can also allow for flexible scheduling around caregiving or work demands. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for remote sessions so practical skill-building continues between meetings.
