About Amanda
Amanda Birescik is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people address stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. Amanda speaks English and can work with international clients. She asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to begin.
Amanda’s style is straightforward and practical. She listens to what is most troubling and focuses on concrete steps that can reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions include talking through stressors, practicing ways to manage panic or anxiety, and addressing patterns that contribute to family conflict or isolation.
Her background includes years of work with mood disorders, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress. Amanda has also supported people dealing with caregiver stress, workplace strain, and questions about life purpose. These areas often overlap, so she helps people see how one issue affects another.
In therapy she adapts the approach to the person in front of her rather than using a single method every time. That means shaping conversation and tools to the client’s goals and comfort level. The aim is steady progress through manageable changes.

How evidence-based approaches guide online sessions
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to what each person needs. One common approach focuses on skills for managing anxiety and panic attacks, teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations so symptoms can be reduced over time. Another approach addresses mood and trauma-related symptoms by helping people process distressing experiences and build coping strategies for daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. She checks in on how tools are working and adjusts the plan as needed, so therapy evolves with progress and setbacks.
