About Amanda
Amanda Spahn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three years of experience practicing in Utah. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and life changes. She also focuses on codependency, attachment and control issues, and concerns like guilt, shame, and self-esteem.
Amanda helps people name patterns that leave them putting others first. She talks through emotional reactions and helps clients build practical coping skills. Sessions look at how past relationships shape current behavior and choices. The goal is clearer self-understanding and steadier responses to everyday stresses.
Her work often centers on women's mental health, panic and phobic anxiety, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and smoking or vaping cessation. Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and daily functioning. She encourages small, concrete changes that fit into real life and reduce overwhelm.
Clients can expect a collaborative style that focuses on skills and insight. Amanda supports people who want to increase self-love, find a stronger sense of purpose, or work through abandonment and attachment concerns. She balances talking through feelings with practicing new ways of coping.
Sessions are conducted in English from Utah. Amanda notes that international clients are not accepted. Cost varies by location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people change unhelpful thoughts and learn practical skills. Cognitive-style approaches focus on identifying and reshaping thought patterns that feed anxiety and low self-esteem, which can be useful for panic, social anxiety, and depressive thinking.She also uses skills-based work to develop concrete coping strategies. That includes practicing breathing and grounding for panic, behavior changes for compulsive patterns, and stepwise exposure for specific phobias or avoidance. These techniques aim to reduce distress and increase confidence in daily situations.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. Amanda will discuss goals and try methods that fit the client's needs and preferences. Over a few sessions she and the client decide what helps most and adjust the plan as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking.
