About Amanda
Amanda DiGenova is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, and struggles around addiction and family conflict. Amanda also lists codependency among her focus areas and supports people coping with intimacy-related issues and self-esteem concerns.
Amanda uses straightforward conversation to clarify what feels most urgent. She draws on client-centered principles to follow each person's pace, and on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness and dialectical skills are part of how she helps people manage strong emotions at the moment.
In sessions Amanda talks through practical steps and small experiments people can try between meetings. She pays attention to how stress, caregiving roles, and life transitions change daily routines and relationships. When relevant she addresses concerns tied to sexual orientation, blended family situations, and challenges around alternative sex culture or kink.
Amanda has experience with people affected by drug and alcohol problems and with those handling chronic illness, cancer caregiving, or the emotional fallout of trauma and loss. She also works with people who feel stuck by abandonment fears, commitment questions, body image issues, or career stress.
Her style is direct and motivating, with a focus on skills people can use right away. To start, clients fill out a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to see if the fit feels right.
How sessions work
How Amanda’s approaches translate to online sessions
Amanda blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical skills in practical ways. Client-centered work means the therapist follows the person's concerns and priorities, allowing sessions to focus on what matters most. CBT looks at thought patterns and actions, offering exercises to try between sessions to change unhelpful habits. DBT-style skills teach concrete ways to tolerate distress and regulate intense emotions, which can help when boundaries or codependent patterns feel overwhelming.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work together. Amanda will help clients identify goals, try a few methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process means techniques can shift as a person's needs change over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove the need to travel. Many people find it practical for continuing care after an in-person start or when managing caregiving and work demands.
