About Amanda
Amanda Braun is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Pennsylvania with four years of professional experience. She focuses on common life stresses such as anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. Amanda also helps people navigate family stress and shifts that come with life changes.
Her work emphasizes practical conversation and clear goals. She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts, test unhelpful patterns, and practice small changes. Sessions are aimed at manageable steps rather than theory-heavy explanations.
Amanda pays attention to how caregiving, body image, and communication struggles affect everyday routines. She offers strategies for managing guilt, shame, and forgiveness so those feelings do less harm to daily life. She also supports people trying to rebuild self-love and confidence after setbacks.
In meetings she focuses on what someone can try between sessions. That might include simple behavioral experiments, mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity, or values-based actions to reclaim time and energy. Progress is tracked with clear, realistic goals rather than vague promises.
People who prefer direct, practical guidance about work, family, and emotional demands will find this approach straightforward. To begin, follow the site process to complete the matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Amanda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-driven actions. ACT often involves learning to accept difficult feelings while committing to steps that matter personally. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and test thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT tends to break problems into small, changeable parts and build new habits. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention practices that reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping; it can help with anxiety, stress, and rumination.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will review your goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try together. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted if something does not fit or produce the expected progress.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or health appointments. They also allow shorter check-ins when a full meeting feels difficult and reduce travel time so people can schedule sessions during a break or at the end of the day.
