About Amanda
Amanda Sifonte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. Amanda also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and social anxiety.
Amanda begins by asking what brought a person to therapy and what they hope to gain. Early sessions look at strengths and recurring patterns that cause trouble. From there she helps develop straightforward plans to manage symptoms and handle everyday pressures.
Her work uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques chosen to match a person's needs and pace. Sessions include talking through recent events, practicing new ways of responding, and trying concrete skills between meetings. Goals are practical and focused on changes that affect day-to-day life.
Amanda pays attention to how stress and relationships affect mood and behavior. She supports people dealing with grief, major life changes, or long-term health challenges. She also helps those working through addiction-related problems and the emotional fallout that often follows trauma.
People who contact Amanda can expect clear steps and collaborative planning. She aims to help people notice what works, drop what doesn't, and build routines that reduce overwhelm. Her practice is grounded in clinical social work and real-world problem solving.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Amanda draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and problem solving. One common approach emphasizes learning practical coping skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress in daily life. Sessions usually involve identifying triggers, practicing brief exercises, and setting short between-session tasks that fit into a regular routine. Another approach centers on processing the impact of trauma and abuse by helping people name reactions and build strategies to reduce their effect on current behavior. Work in these sessions combines discussion of difficult memories with stepwise techniques to improve day-to-day functioning. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda collaborates with each person to decide which techniques match their goals and comfort level. She checks progress and adjusts methods as needed so the work stays practical and relevant. Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around work, caregiving, and health demands. Confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to keep regular appointments, use shorter check-ins during busy weeks, or avoid travel time so therapy is simpler to maintain alongside everyday responsibilities.CAreas of focus
