About Amanda
Amanda Sholty is a licensed clinical social worker who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and money and financial issues among other life challenges. She invites people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain to take the next step toward finding clearer footing. Reaching out can be hard, and she acknowledges that small steps matter.
Amanda draws on six years of experience across community behavioral health, domestic violence services, healthcare, and work with veterans. She also provides support for caregivers, including those caring for people with dementia. Her background means she can talk through practical day-to-day challenges as well as bigger transitions.
Her style is person-centered and strengths-based. That means she treats the client as the expert on their life and works collaboratively to set priorities. Sessions focus on what matters to the person and on skills that can be used between appointments.
Amanda weaves together several approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thinking and from acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and take meaningful action. Attachment-informed work and client-centered conversations help with relationship and intimacy-related issues.
People seeking help with grief, parenting strain, addiction concerns, career stress, ADHD, or identity-related issues can expect direct, practical conversation. Amanda offers a calm, nonjudgmental space to try new strategies, set boundaries, and build coping skills at a pace that feels manageable.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Amanda combines cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment therapy in ways that focus on real-life change. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete behavior changes for stress, anxiety, and mood. Acceptance and commitment therapy supports clarifying personal values and taking steps toward a more meaningful life, which can be useful for coping with life changes and motivation challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and happens together. Amanda will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. From there she tailors strategies and checks in regularly to adjust the plan as needed.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for focused conversations during a lunch break or between appointments. It can also let someone choose whether to use video or an alternative format based on comfort, bandwidth, or the kind of check-in they need.
