About Amanda
Amanda Clark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Certified (LCSW-C) in Maryland with three years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Sessions are held in English and focus on practical steps people can use between meetings.
Amanda uses straightforward conversation to identify what is happening when anger or frustration comes up. She helps people notice thoughts and patterns that keep problems repeating, then tries out small behavior changes to see what helps. Therapy often includes goal-setting, short exercises to practice new habits, and discussing what gets in the way of those changes.
Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practice. That mix supports people who want to manage strong emotions, cope with grief, or rebuild confidence after setbacks. Amanda also uses motivational interviewing techniques to clarify what a person really wants to change and to build momentum toward those goals.
Clients with complex histories such as trauma, ongoing caregiver stress, chronic health problems, or relationship issues are offered a thoughtful, paced approach. Amanda notes areas of additional focus like adoption and foster care, kink and alternative sex culture, and eating and food-related issues. She aims to keep sessions practical and focused on what a person can try between appointments.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How Amanda uses evidence-based approaches online
Amanda often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings rather than trying to push them away. CBT breaks situations into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to identify patterns and test small, practical changes.She also uses mindfulness practices to help people slow down and notice triggers for anger or anxiety. Together these approaches give concrete skills for managing emotion, improving communication, and handling everyday stressors. Finding the right mix is treated as a collaborative process; Amanda works with each person to decide which methods match their goals and comfort level.
