About Amanda

Amanda Grant is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience in mental health. She practices in New York and draws on years spent as a staff clinician, supervisor, therapist, and administrator to shape her approach. Her work is grounded in clear, compassionate care and a commitment to helping people move toward change.

Amanda often focuses on relationships, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with parenting stress and struggles with self-esteem.

Background and approach

Her experience includes helping those coping with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and the effects of early childhood trauma. Her practice pays attention to behavioral needs tied to emotional disabilities and to neurodiversity, including autism and Asperger syndrome. Amanda also addresses blended family dynamics, communication and commitment problems, codependency, and body image difficulties.

She has experience with divorce, separation, domestic violence, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD). Amanda blends practical problem-solving with time to process feelings. In sessions she helps people name what matters, practice new ways of communicating, and set manageable goals.

She emphasizes steady growth rather than quick fixes and makes room for deep healing or rest when that is needed. People who reach out can expect a collaborative relationship that starts with where they are. Amanda values curiosity and steady learning, and she brings that to each conversation.

She welcomes interest from those ready to begin working on change.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life

Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-life change. One approach centers on attachment work - looking at how early relationships shape current patterns and helping people form more supported, dependable ways of relating. This is useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and attachment wounds.

She also uses trauma-informed methods to help people process the effects of abuse and early childhood hurt. That work involves pacing, grounding, and developing skills to manage overwhelming reactions so a person can feel steadier and more able to engage in relationships and daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Amanda partners with each person to identify what matters, tests what helps, and adjusts methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can change as progress or new issues appear.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face time for deeper work. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or fit brief contacts into a busy day. These options help therapy fit into school, work, and family life while keeping focus on steady progress.
