About Amanda
LCSW Amanda Sifonte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York with eight years of experience. She works with adults and older adults on stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Sessions focus on practical steps and personal goals.
Amanda starts by listening to what brought someone to therapy and what they want to change. She and the client map strengths and patterns that get in the way. From there they build a clear plan with manageable steps to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Her practice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s pace. Early work often includes learning concrete coping strategies for anxiety and stress. Later sessions can focus on processing painful experiences, addressing addictive behaviors, and rebuilding self-regard.
She also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, self-love, and social anxiety or phobias. The emphasis is on useful skills and realistic goals rather than on theory alone.
People who reach out can expect a collaborative approach that centers their goals. Amanda helps clients track progress and adjust the plan as needed. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s intake steps to match and schedule a first appointment.

Therapeutic methods and what online sessions involve
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques adapted to each person's needs. One common approach she applies is cognitive-behavioral work, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Another frequent focus is trauma-informed care, where pacing and safety are prioritized while processing painful experiences to reduce their hold on daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amanda collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She begins by clarifying what the client hopes to change, then recommends specific techniques and checks in regularly to adjust course.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make scheduling easier and help fit therapy into busy lives. They can shorten travel time, allow brief check-ins between obligations, and let people access a licensed professional from where they are. Practical considerations like quieter surroundings, bandwidth, and whether to use video are discussed when arranging the first appointment.
