About Amanda
LCSW in Florida with 5 years of experience, Amanda Smith focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and depression. She speaks English and works with adults to address mood and personality concerns along with social anxiety, isolation, and issues such as guilt, control, and impulsivity.
Amanda keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In conversation she helps clients notice patterns of thought, test new behaviors, and define short-term steps they can try between meetings.
Her style is practical and collaborative. She asks about daily routines, what matters to the person, and which responses are causing trouble. From there she and the client pick small exercises and questions to work on together during sessions.
Amanda respects that change often happens slowly. She tracks progress in concrete ways and adjusts techniques when something is not helpful. Sessions mix discussion with simple exercises and real-life homework aimed at reducing symptoms and increasing day-to-day functioning.
To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted.

How Amanda uses ACT and CBT in remote sessions
Amanda commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and noticing unhelpful thoughts so a person can act toward what matters despite difficult feelings. It can help when avoidance or stuck patterns maintain stress and low mood. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses experiments and practical skills to change responses that keep anxiety or depression going.Choosing the right approach happens together. Amanda will discuss goals, past experiences with therapy, and what methods feel most useful. She then recommends exercises and session structures and adapts them as work progresses so clients can see what fits their needs and preferences.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce the need to travel. Therapists often use focused exercises, worksheets, and behavior-change plans that translate well to remote meetings and follow-up between appointments.
