About Amanda
Amanda Braun is a Pennsylvania Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with four years of professional experience working with stress, anxiety, family concerns, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She offers direct, practical help for people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward.
Amanda uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. Sessions focus on clear, usable tools - for example noticing unhelpful thoughts, practicing small behavior changes, and using present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity. She frames work around everyday problems rather than abstract theory.
In conversation she attends to communication patterns and relationship stressors that affect daily life. She also addresses body image, caregiver stress, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and building self-love in concrete ways. Sessions tend to include skill practice and brief homework items to test what actually helps.
Amanda describes the process as collaborative. She will talk about goals and try approaches that match a person's preferences and schedule. Progress is tracked through repeated small steps rather than sudden fixes.

Approaches you can expect in online work
Amanda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Mindfulness Therapy in her clinical work. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and values-driven action rather than trying to eliminate difficult thoughts. CBT works with identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and creating small behavior changes that shift daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness techniques to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping.Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past attempts, and preferences, and then try methods that suit those needs. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps in practice rather than on a fixed plan.
The therapist's biography does not list which session formats she offers, so confirm the available formats when you sign up. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Discuss any practical constraints during the matching questionnaire so sessions can be shaped to work with everyday life.
