About Amanda
Amanda Spahn is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with three years of experience. She practices in Utah and works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and major life changes, including social anxiety and phobia.
Amanda helps people name and sort difficult feelings. She talks through patterns such as guilt, shame, attachment struggles, and codependency. Sessions focus on practical steps to manage panic, obsessive thoughts, phobias, and seasonal mood shifts.
Her style centers on building self-love and clearer life purpose. She encourages small, manageable changes and learning new coping habits. That can include strategies for smoking or vaping cessation when that is part of someone’s goals.
Amanda offers particular support around women’s issues and the emotional effects of abandonment and control problems. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and to help people test what works in everyday life.
Clients can expect a collaborative approach where goals are set together. She emphasizes understanding how past patterns show up now and practicing different responses. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the practice’s online options.
How evidence-based approaches guide online work
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions. Cognitive-based approaches help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts, which can reduce worry and social fear. Behavioral techniques focus on small, repeated practice to change avoidance patterns and build confidence in social situations.Exposure-style methods can be used gradually to address phobias, panic, and social anxiety by creating stepwise practice that feels manageable. For obsessive-compulsive experiences, behavioral strategies can help interrupt rituals and build alternate responses. These approaches are chosen because they concentrate on concrete skills and measurable steps people can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That shared decision-making helps ensure sessions match what someone needs at each stage.
