About Amanda

Amanda Zepeda is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York with a decade of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate LGBT concerns, and build greater self-esteem and confidence.

Background and approach

Her background includes supporting clients through depression, anger, career challenges, and compassion fatigue, and she adapts her approach to each person’s situation. Her practice emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion; she works collaboratively to tailor conversations and treatment plans to individual needs.

Amanda draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for coping with panic, social anxiety, workplace difficulties, and issues related to identity and discrimination. She encourages clients to view seeking help as a courageous step and offers steady support while they pursue more fulfilling, balanced lives.

CBT-informed Care and Online Therapy Options

Many clients benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and developing practical skills to change emotional responses and behaviors; this approach is often used for anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and social fears.

Amanda emphasizes a collaborative process to find the best fit between therapeutic approach and each person's goals. She will work with clients to choose strategies and techniques that match their needs, adjusting the plan as progress is made and preferences become clearer.

Online therapy with Amanda is offered through flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access care from home or another convenient location. The range of formats allows clients to use more interactive sessions or shorter check-ins as needed, supporting continuity of care and practical access to licensed professionals.
