About Amanda

LCSW in North Carolina with 11 years of experience, Amanda Marvin helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, grief, addiction concerns, relationship problems, and trauma-related issues. She works with individuals facing life changes, compassion fatigue, bipolar concerns, and a range of family and relationship difficulties including blended family issues and infidelity.

Amanda uses practical therapy methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. Sessions focus on clear skills and strategies for handling strong emotions, improving communication, and coping with change. She also addresses co-morbidity, dissociation, and disruptive mood challenges as they arise.

Her style centers on listening and working collaboratively to build manageable steps. That can mean setting small behavior goals, practicing mindfulness exercises, or trying different ways to handle conflict and cravings. The work often includes learning concrete tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and repair relationship patterns.

Amanda has experience supporting people with HIV/AIDS concerns, substance issues, and anger or control problems. She also helps those working through family of origin issues, forgiveness, and the emotional fallout of separation or divorce. Sessions may explore how past experiences affect current relationships and choices.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation, practical homework between meetings, and a focus on daily functioning. To begin, people typically complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the approach fits their needs.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions

Amanda commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. CBT looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences, then experiments with techniques together. This collaboration helps decide whether ACT, CBT, mindfulness exercises, or a mix fits best for the person's situation.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Conversations can include skill coaching, mindfulness practices, and planning between sessions to support daily changes without promising a specific delivery method.
