About Amanda
Amanda Alexander is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Kentucky with six years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and issues of guilt and shame. Amanda works with adults age 18 and up who are trying to manage these problems in day-to-day life.
Amanda describes trauma as something that shows up in many ways. She prefers straightforward conversations about what is happening and what the person needs right now. Sessions emphasize practical coping skills that can be used between meetings to ease symptoms and improve functioning.
When someone is unsure where to begin, Amanda helps map out a clear plan. That plan typically includes learning realistic techniques for managing anxiety and mood, and addressing patterns that affect relationships. She explains options plainly and helps people decide what to try first.
Amanda aims to make therapy a less intimidating experience. She encourages people to set the pace and to lead decisions about goals. In practice this means short-term skills work mixed with space to talk through the things that matter most.
Her approach is suited to adults dealing with the aftereffects of trauma, ongoing anxiety, low mood, or persistent shame and guilt. Amanda’s background and focus are practical: reduce daily strain, improve coping, and help clients move toward choices they feel ready to make.
BHow sessions work
How Amanda’s approaches translate to online sessions
Amanda works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and practical changes. One common approach is trauma-focused work that helps identify how past events affect current thoughts, feelings, and behavior. This often involves learning grounding strategies and paced processing to reduce distress. Another frequently used method is skills-based anxiety and mood management that teaches breathing, thought-challenging, activity planning, and short behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amanda treats that as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made or preferences change.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and making it easier to keep regular appointments. If you are considering virtual meetings, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it simpler to check in during a break, use shorter sessions when needed, or avoid travel time while still working on skills and relationship patterns.
