About Amanda
Amanda DiGenova is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings ten years of clinical experience and works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship concerns, and stress related to life changes. Amanda emphasizes a hopeful, encouraging approach in sessions.
Amanda favors a holistic view that connects thoughts, body sensations, and values. She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches alongside mindfulness exercises to help people manage intense emotions and unhelpful thinking. Sessions are collaborative and focused on day-to-day coping skills as well as longer term goals.
She has helped people navigate complicated family situations, parenting strain, blended family dynamics, and challenges around sexual orientation. Amanda also supports clients dealing with trauma, domestic violence, codependency, and intimacy-related concerns. She notes experience with addiction and substance use issues and with compassion fatigue for those in caregiving roles.
Amanda’s style is motivating and positive. She aims to meet people where they are and to build on strengths that already exist. Her background includes work with people affected by sexual behavior concerns and legal-system involvement, drawing on experience rather than claiming a single specialty.
In session she combines practical problem solving with attention to meaning and values. That can include motivational interviewing strategies, elements of dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation, and client-centered listening. People seeking support after natural or human-caused disasters can discuss coping strategies and recovery-focused planning with her.
How Amanda’s approaches translate to online therapy
Amanda uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral strategies in a way that fits remote counseling. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and helping people feel heard; online sessions can reproduce that supportive conversation and help clarify goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it often involves between-session practice that translates well to remote work. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) elements, such as emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills, can be taught in short exercises and practiced between meetings.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Amanda will help people choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She reviews what’s working and adjusts plans as needed so the process stays practical and goal-oriented.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports working on homework and skills between meetings, and makes scheduling more flexible for people balancing caregiving, work, or medical issues.
