About Amanda
Dr. Amanda Antis is a California LMFT with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on anger, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and addiction concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical ways to manage strong feelings and daily strain.
She uses several therapy styles to help people understand patterns that keep anger and resentment alive. That can mean noticing thoughts that escalate frustration, trying new ways to respond in tense moments, or building clearer communication skills. She draws on evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide those steps.
In practice she keeps conversations direct and outcome-focused. Early sessions usually look at what provokes anger, what happens next, and what the client wants to change. From there she and the client set short, measurable goals and practice skills between sessions.
Dr. Antis also works with trauma, grief, ADHD, and family-related stressors that often intensify anger. She can help people sort through related issues like codependency, control problems, and substance use so these do not keep fueling outbursts or resentment.
Her approach is collaborative - she helps people choose strategies that fit their life and preferences. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that align with what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to interrupt unhelpful cycles. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when emotions run high.Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the process. She works with clients to decide which approaches match their goals and daily life, and adjusts plans as progress or needs change. That collaboration helps make skills learned in sessions useful between appointments.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy schedule, makes shorter check-ins possible during a workday, or removes the need to travel. Therapists generally combine skills practice, brief between-session exercises, and focused conversations to help clients manage anger more effectively.
