About Amanda
Amanda DiGenova uses a client-centered approach to guide people through stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with ten years of clinical experience. Amanda writes plainly and meets people where they are.
Amanda helps people make sense of grief, loss, and major life changes. She also supports those coping with addiction, compassion fatigue, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem.
How Amanda works
She pays attention to how work, caregiving, and health conditions shape daily life. Her work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and build practical skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies are used when people need tools for emotion regulation and improved communication.
Amanda also weaves in mindfulness and existential ideas to help people connect values with action. Sessions focus on real-world changes rather than abstract theory. Amanda listens, helps set clear goals, and practices skills together in session.
She encourages small steps that add up to steady progress. She is familiar with issues such as blended family conflict, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness, codependency, and concerns tied to sexual orientation and alternative sexual cultures. Amanda aims to create a calm, motivating space where people can try out new ways of coping and relating.

Online support options
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Amanda blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral strategies and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to tailor work to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and building a trusting relationship so people feel understood and can set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior, and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds tools for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and building distress tolerance.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Amanda collaborates with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This makes therapy flexible and personally relevant rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and are a good option for brief check-ins. Live chat or text-based messaging supports ongoing connection and short check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep practicing skills between meetings.
