About Amanda
Amanda Pisark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Pennsylvania with seven years of experience. She works with adults facing relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, caregiver stress, and life transitions. Amanda speaks English and draws on clinical approaches to help people manage everyday pressures and relational problems.
Her background includes social work in hospice care and retirement communities. That work shaped her interest in aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver issues, chronic illness, and the interplay between loss and daily functioning. She has experience helping people cope with complicated grief, stress from caregiving, and the emotional effects of chronic medical conditions.
In sessions Amanda starts by asking what brought a person in and what they hope to change. Conversations are guided by the client while she offers questions and observations to open new perspectives. Together they set short-term steps and longer-term goals so progress is practical and measurable.
She uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, Emotionally-Focused ideas, and client-centered techniques. That mix helps with symptoms like anxiety, low self-esteem, compulsive or impulsive behaviors, and problems with intimacy or communication.
Over time Amanda works with clients to build coping skills and simple daily exercises to use between sessions. She aims to make therapy straightforward and focused on what improves everyday life and relationships.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches guide online sessions
Amanda commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered techniques. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while deciding what matters most in life; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with change. Attachment-Based work looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current trust and intimacy; it is useful for communication problems and commitment issues. Client-centered therapy keeps the focus on the persons perspective and pace, encouraging them to lead conversations while the therapist listens and reflects.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will discuss your goals and preferences and try methods that match your needs. Decisions about techniques and exercises are collaborative and may change as progress unfolds.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Practical benefits of remote sessions can include fitting meetings into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed, and less travel time around work or caregiving duties. Amanda will focus on tools and practices that you can use between sessions to manage stress, relationships, grief, or caregiving burdens.
