About Amanda

Amanda Shaw is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania who offers compassionate, strengths-based support for adults navigating a wide range of life challenges. She has worked across the lifespan with people from infancy through late adulthood and has focused much of her clinical work on outpatient mental health care for individuals, groups, and families. Her practice centers on helping clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, and issues tied to life transitions and caregiving.

Amanda draws from several therapeutic methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices, narrative approaches, and solution-focused strategies, to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. She aims to create a nonjudgmental environment where clients can identify strengths, clarify goals, and practice skills that support emotional regulation, coping, and personal growth. She also works with clients facing specialized concerns such as postpartum depression, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, end-of-life care, and cancer-related stress.

Clients may connect with Amanda through a variety of remote options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She strives to meet people where they are and collaborate on a practical plan for change while honoring individual preferences and life circumstances. Amanda holds the credential LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

Therapeutic approaches tailored for online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding each person from their own perspective and building a supportive, collaborative relationship. It helps clients explore strengths and make choices that fit their values and life context. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related concerns and provides practical skills for day-to-day coping. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and acceptance, teaching techniques that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can be helpful for anxiety, grief, and chronic stress.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Amanda works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time so that therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.



Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from home or other convenient locations. Licensed professionals can deliver effective, goal-oriented care through these formats while adapting tools and exercises to the way a client prefers to engage.
