About Amannda
Licensed clinical social worker Amanda Walworth has 11 years of experience helping people in New York cope with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and grief. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and describes her work as rooted in psychodynamic ideas and psychoanalytic-informed practice. Sessions are in English.
Amanda focuses on how early wounds and loss can resurface in daily life. She pays attention to relationships, career strain, and the ways anxiety or depression show up after trauma. She also works with people affected by intellectual disability and autism, and helps family members process logistical and emotional challenges related to those issues.
Her approach draws on psychodynamic psychotherapy and a Certificate in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy from the Metropolitan Institute for Training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. That background shapes how she listens for recurring patterns in relationships and internal conflicts. She aims to provide a steady, consistent presence and to be attentive to sensory and emotional states during sessions.
Amanda’s training includes a Master of Social Work from City University of New York, Lehman College, and a Bachelor’s degree from the State University of New York, Buffalo. She is an LCSW in New York and has worked in a range of outpatient mental health settings over the years.
In practical terms she helps people name sources of guilt, shame, communication problems, workplace difficulties, money stress, self-harm concerns, and family of origin issues. People who prefer a reflective, pattern-focused style that also notices practical needs may find her approach useful.

How her approaches shape online work
Amanda describes her work as grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalytic-informed techniques. Psychodynamic psychotherapy focuses on patterns in relationships and recurring feelings that come from earlier experiences; it can help people understand sources of anxiety, grief, and relational strain. Psychoanalytic-informed approaches use careful listening to notice themes over time and to track how past events influence present reactions. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust methods as needed during the course of work. Conversations about pace, focus, and practical needs are part of that collaboration. Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular check-ins while managing work or caregiving schedules. Confirm the exact session formats available with her before booking, since session delivery options are not specified here. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly discuss format, frequency, and session length at the first appointment to match therapy to daily life.Sheet 3
