About Amanda
Amanda Adams is an LCSW-C (Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical) practicing in Maryland with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and communication problems, self-esteem concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, ADHD, and issues affecting LGBT and veteran communities. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer day-to-day coping.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. Amanda often brings in narrative ideas and brief solution-focused techniques to keep work concrete and goal-oriented. She also draws on expressive arts and nature-based elements when they fit a person's interests.
In sessions she helps people break problems into manageable pieces. That can mean spotting thought patterns, practicing small behavior changes, or trying short experiments between meetings. Communication skills for relationships and strategies for handling life transitions are common topics.
Amanda’s background includes work with people across age groups and with ADHD concerns, as well as couples interested in improving how they talk and solve problems together. Her experience also covers veterans and armed forces issues, and she adapts methods to fit practical needs.
People who prefer structured, skills-focused therapy may find her style helpful. To confirm session options and logistics, readers should check the current online therapy options before scheduling.
How Amanda integrates structured approaches online
Amanda draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thinking patterns and try small behavioral changes. CBT sessions focus on concrete goals, short experiments, and practical homework that can be tracked between meetings. She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize a person’s own goals and perspective, and mindfulness techniques that teach simple attention exercises to reduce overwhelm. These approaches suit issues like anxiety, stress, relationship communication, and coping with life changes. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will review needs and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. People often adjust the plan as they see what works, combining CBT tasks with mindfulness practice or narrative work when helpful. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a work break, reduce travel time, or use a shorter check-in when needed. Ask about scheduling and how sessions are structured so they match everyday routines.Areas of expertise
