01About Amanda
Amanda Scardino is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, and life transitions. Amanda offers a direct and compassionate approach that aims to make therapy understandable and practical.
Her work is described in everyday terms. Sessions focus on clear goals like managing worry, improving communication, coping with grief, and navigating parenting or career pressures. She creates an affirming space for LGBTQ+ individuals and people seeking a progressive, non-religious setting.
Background and approach
Amanda uses well-established methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to build skills that clients can use between sessions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear in her practice to support clarity and motivation. Solution-focused techniques help move people toward specific changes quickly.
Over two decades in practice have given her experience with a wide range of life challenges, including intimacy issues, anger, ADHD-related concerns, and major life changes. She emphasizes collaboration and practical steps rather than jargon. Clients work together with her to set realistic, measurable goals.
Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs. Amanda aims to teach tools for managing emotions, resolving conflicts, and making decisions that fit the client’s values. The focus is on steady, usable progress rather than quick fixes.

04Online support
How Amanda’s approaches translate to online care
Amanda often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward them while learning to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.She treats approach selection as a collaborative process. Early sessions look at your goals, what has worked before, and your preferences. Together you try methods that fit your needs and adjust them over time so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions come in several flexible formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video isn’t convenient, live chat for quicker check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between appointments. Video is helpful for deeper conversations, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit short check-ins, and messaging supports brief reflections or reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity when schedules change.
