About Amanda

Amanda Roman is a licensed marriage and family therapist with six years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She creates a warm space where clients can speak honestly about their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.

Her approach is conversational and practical. She listens first, then works with each person to set small, doable goals. Sessions focus on clear steps people can use between appointments to manage mood and anxiety and to build confidence.

Amanda draws on a mix of therapies to fit each person’s needs. She may use acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts, and client-centered methods to keep the conversation grounded in what matters to the client. She also brings skills from dialectical behavior therapy and existential therapy when they suit the work.

People come to her for help with life direction, feelings of isolation or loneliness, communication problems, guilt and shame, and impulsive choices. She talks through practical tools and helps people practice new ways of responding to stressful situations.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. Fees vary with location and the subscription used, which can be canceled at any time.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Amanda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other methods. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values, which can help when people feel stuck or lonely. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete skills for anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will discuss goals, try methods that fit, and adjust based on what helps. The choice of technique is collaborative and shaped by a person’s needs and preferences.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break or video meetings that avoid travel time. It can also allow for practices between sessions, such as exercises done at home and discussed in the next meeting.
