Amanda DiGenova is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who brings a practical and compassionate approach to therapy. She offers individual, couples, and family work, addressing grief and loss, anxiety, depression, anger management, and family concerns related to substance use, sexual orientation, and changing family structures. Her practice includes attention to relationship dynamics and the emotional challenges that emerge in blended and nontraditional families.

Amanda has particular experience working with children and adolescents ages 8 to 16 and their families when sexual behaviors or encounters with the legal system have been involved. She combines clinical knowledge with an understanding of developmental needs to support young people and their caregivers through complex situations.

Grounded in a belief that people are resilient and capable of change, Amanda integrates complementary and alternative medicine perspectives into a holistic framework. Her therapeutic manner is encouraging, motivating, and positive while remaining attentive to each person’s needs. By working to align mind, body, and spirit, she supports clients in pursuing greater balance and emotional well-being.

Approaches for Online Therapy and Practical Support

Amanda integrates client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening deeply and responding with empathy so clients can explore their values, identity, and goals at their own pace. This approach supports work on self-esteem, relationship concerns, and navigating life transitions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-based, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is another tool in her practice, offering skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness when emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Amanda collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors strategies over time and adapts interventions as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Amanda is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and access licensed professionals and therapists from wherever the client is located.
