About Amanda
Amanda DiGenova is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who centers her work on practical, evidence-informed strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while drawing on client-centered and mindfulness approaches.
Background and approach
She blends structured techniques with a supportive, collaborative stance to help people address anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and struggles with addiction and self-esteem. Amanda draws on ten years of clinical experience to assist clients facing family and parenting conflicts, intimacy-related concerns, anger, career stress, and complex life transitions including caregiving strains and chronic illness.
Her practice also attends to issues related to sexual orientation, blended family dynamics, body image, and the emotional effects of trauma and loss. She describes therapy as a partnership that honors each person's resilience and capacity for change.
Her style emphasizes encouragement, motivation, and practical coping skills while incorporating mindfulness and existential perspectives when helpful. Amanda integrates knowledge of alternative and complementary approaches alongside clinical methods to address mind-body balance and support clients working toward greater calm, clarity, and meaningful progress.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports personal growth; it helps people clarify values, strengthen self-trust, and build motivation for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be particularly useful for intense emotions and relationship conflicts.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Amanda works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and circumstances. She adapts techniques over time so the plan can evolve as progress is made and new needs arise.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow for consistent support around work and family schedules, make it easier to continue care during life transitions, and provide multiple ways to engage depending on comfort and practical needs.
