About Amanda
Amanda Roel uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress and anxiety. She is a licensed clinical social worker with 10 years of professional experience. Amanda focuses on clear, down-to-earth conversations that aim to reduce distress and build coping skills.
She helps people who feel overwhelmed by depression, trauma and abuse, or relationship strain. Amanda also supports work on self-esteem, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, and self-love.
How Amanda works
Sessions are tailored to each person’s situation and goals. Amanda frames therapy as a collaborative process. She listens first, then creates a simple plan that matches what a person needs right now.
That might mean learning short-term coping strategies, reviewing difficult memories at a safe pace, or practicing new ways of relating to others. Her style is respectful and direct. Amanda aims to make sessions feel manageable, even when the topics are hard.
She encourages steady progress and recognises that small changes add up. People who choose Amanda can expect flexible conversation and measurable steps. She focuses on what will help in daily life and on building tools people can use after sessions end.
Her practice is based in New York and draws on a decade of clinical experience.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Amanda draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-world change. One common approach teaches practical coping skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress. These skills are brief, repeatable exercises people can use between sessions to feel steadier day to day.Another approach involves carefully processing trauma and post-traumatic stress through paced conversations and supportive guidance. This helps people make sense of difficult experiences and lowers their emotional charge over time.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, ask about your goals and preferences, and try methods that fit your pace. Progress is reviewed together so adjustments can be made when something isn’t working.
Online therapy offers several convenient formats for this work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or step-by-step skill practice possible between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
