Amanda Sholty, LCSW

Amanda Sholty is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes. She also addresses issues such as compassion fatigue, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, and ADHD.

Amanda draws on practical, person-centered methods to help clients set priorities and build skills. She treats concerns in plain terms and focuses on what someone wants to change. Sessions are collaborative; the client’s goals guide each step.

Her background includes work in community behavioral health, domestic violence services, healthcare settings, and veteran care. She has experience supporting caregivers, including those helping people with dementia. That mix of settings informs a pragmatic approach to everyday stressors.

In sessions she uses methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based techniques, Client-Centered Therapy, and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship issues arise. Those approaches are used to develop coping skills, improve communication, and manage mood and anxiety.

Amanda helps people practice new ways of responding to problems rather than only talking about them. She pays attention to strengths and to realistic steps for change. If someone is juggling work, family, health, or caregiver responsibilities, she aims to make therapy useful and manageable.

To start, clients complete an initial matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Amanda works in English and does not take international clients.
