About Amanda
Amanda Lirosi - Arons offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, or life changes. She is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who focuses on helping people build coping skills and stronger self-esteem. She uses clear, evidence-based methods to help people connect thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Sessions emphasize small, doable steps that fit into busy lives. Amanda helps clients name what matters to them, reduce anxiety, and make steady progress toward personal goals.
How Amanda works
With seven years of clinical experience, Amanda draws on a strengths-based stance and mindfulness practices to support change. She pays attention to patterns such as attachment struggles, communication problems, and issues around body image or control. The work often includes practical tools for managing impulsivity, guilt, and loneliness.
Amanda also offers help around blended family issues, divorce and separation-related stress, and navigating young adult challenges like life purpose and self-love. She explains skills plainly and checks in often to make sure the pace feels manageable. People meet her through online formats that include video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Amanda asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions based on availability.

Approaches and what online therapy looks like
Amanda uses evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and building present-moment awareness. One common method teaches how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect so clients can test new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach draws on mindfulness and strengths-based practices to help people notice stress reactions, build calm, and focus on personal resources.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda works with each person to identify goals and preferences, then adapts methods to fit those needs. She checks in regularly to make sure the work feels useful and adjusts tools when something isn’t working.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video calls allow deeper conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for brief check-ins or reflections between meetings. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and keep progress moving forward.
