Amanda Averill , LISW, LICSW

Amanda Averill is a licensed social worker practicing in Ohio with ten years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, family conflict, grief and depression. She draws on her training as a LISW and LICSW - licenses that authorize independent social work practice - to guide clients through both immediate challenges and longer-term life transitions.

Amanda approaches each person as the expert of their own story, helping them identify strengths and resources they already possess to move forward. Her work often focuses on practical coping strategies for everyday stressors as well as deeper exploration of family dynamics, loss, and mood concerns.

Beginning therapy can take courage, and Amanda acknowledges that first step while partnering with clients to set realistic goals and build skills at a comfortable pace. Her style balances respect for a client s lived experience with structured support aimed at improving daily functioning and relationships.

Although Amanda works with a wide range of issues from grief to family concerns and anxiety to depression, she tailors her approach to each person s needs and goals, helping them find a path that fits their life.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Remote Support

Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical coping skills and emotional regulation - approaches that help clients manage stress and anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning. She also employs family-focused evidence-based methods aimed at clarifying patterns, improving communication, and resolving conflicts that affect relationships and household dynamics. When grief and loss are central concerns, Amanda applies evidence-based strategies designed to help people process loss and rebuild routines that support healing.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work she does with each person. Amanda collaborates with clients to identify goals, assess which techniques feel most helpful, and adjust the plan as needs and preferences evolve. This collaborative process helps ensure the treatment fits the client s life and priorities.

Online therapy with Amanda is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize accessibility and flexibility. These options allow clients to engage in consistent care from home or another convenient location, making it easier to maintain momentum while balancing family, work, and other responsibilities.
