About Amanda
Amanda DiGenova is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with ten years of experience. She works with people who face anxiety, stress, depression, grief, relationship strain, and addiction concerns. Amanda also lists support for issues related to sexual orientation, family structure, and intimacy-related concerns.
Amanda uses clear, direct conversation and practical skills in sessions. She draws on Client-Centered approaches and cognitive-behavioral strategies to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Mindfulness and dialectical behavior ideas show up when learning ways to tolerate strong emotions and reduce reactivity.
In therapy she checks what is working and what needs to change. She encourages homework and small, doable experiments between sessions so new habits can stick. Sessions often include practice of breathing, thought records, or real-life role practice for difficult conversations.
Amanda has experience addressing complicated family and relationship patterns, substance-related problems, and the emotional effects of trauma and loss. She also notes additional focus on body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness and issues around alternative sex culture such as BDSM and kink.
People looking to begin are invited to review online therapy options and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. Amanda aims to help people develop clearer coping tools and steadier ways of relating to themselves and others.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Amanda uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to how a person describes their life and goals, then shaping support around those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain anxiety or low mood.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when strong emotions or relationship conflicts are present. DBT skills teach practical ways to manage intense feelings, handle conflict, and build coping strategies that reduce impulsive reactions.
Finding the best approach is part of the first few sessions. The therapist and client decide together which methods match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and they revisit that choice as work continues.
The profile does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. Licensed professionals can also adapt exercises, homework, and role practice for remote sessions so skills are practiced in everyday situations.
