About Amanda
Amanda Dulaney is an Alabama LICSW with three years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with grief and loss, navigating life changes, and working on self-esteem and career concerns. Amanda speaks English and draws on practical, evidence-based techniques in sessions.
She focuses on straightforward conversation and problem-solving. Sessions look at what is happening now and what practical steps could feel manageable. Amanda pays attention to communication patterns, feelings of isolation, and pressures from work or caregiving roles when these come up.
People often come with specific losses, midlife transitions, or struggles after separation. Amanda also addresses issues such as chronic illness, control concerns, and workplace stress. She offers clear, paced support for people who find social situations or public speaking difficult, including social anxiety and phobia.
Her approach is to listen first, then suggest small experiments and skills to try between meetings. Those steps might include ways to practice speaking up, boundaries at work, or routines to support focus and mood. Amanda tracks progress with realistic goals and adjusts plans when something isn’t working.

How evidence-based methods shape online sessions
Many therapists use evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral approaches and behavioral experiments. Cognitive-behavioral approaches look at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and teach concrete skills to test different beliefs. Behavioral experiments are short, planned activities that check whether feared outcomes actually happen and help build new habits.Another common method focuses on grief-specific supports that combine gentle processing of loss with practical coping strategies. This helps people handle reminders, manage anniversaries, and rebuild routines after a loss. These approaches are often practical and skill-oriented, aimed at small, manageable changes over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to what matters, discuss options, and choose methods together based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process makes it easier to try an approach and adjust if needed.
Session formats are not spelled out in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people meet with a licensed professional from different places within the same state, while tailoring session length and pacing to daily life.
