About Amanda
Amanda Braun is a Pennsylvania LCSW with four years of practice experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, family-related problems, and life transitions. Amanda works with adults who want concrete, practical strategies rather than long, abstract talk.
She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques. In sessions she focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, and building small daily habits that change how people cope. Sessions move at a steady, task-focused pace with exercises to try between meetings.
Amanda pays attention to communication problems, caregiver stress, body image, guilt and shame, and issues around forgiveness and self-love. She breaks problems into manageable pieces and works on clear next steps. People can expect straightforward feedback and simple tools to try at home.
Her work emphasizes practical skill-building for day-to-day life. Amanda and a client set short-term goals and check progress regularly. The plan can shift when needed based on what is or isn’t working.
She asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and payment varies with location.
How Amanda uses CBT, ACT and mindfulness online
Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT work often includes tracking thoughts, trying alternative responses, and practicing new habits between sessions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and support committed action toward those values. ACT exercises focus on noticing internal struggles while moving toward chosen goals rather than getting stuck in avoidance.
Mindfulness techniques are taught as brief, practical practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness. These practices are presented as short exercises people can fit into daily routines to help manage stress and mood.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Amanda will discuss what matters to the client, what goals feel most urgent, and which methods fit their preferences. She adjusts the plan based on what works in practice rather than assuming one method fits every concern.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. The practical benefits of remote work include easier scheduling around daily obligations, fewer transit needs, and the ability to try short check-ins when that fits a busy day. These options can make it simpler to practice skills consistently and keep momentum between appointments.
