About Amanda
Amanda Sholty is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, codependency, grief, and life transitions. She welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed and encourages small steps toward change. Reaching out can feel hard, and she acknowledges that first move as meaningful.
Her style is person-centered and strengths-based. Amanda treats the person, not the problem, and focuses on each client’s priorities. She uses a collaborative approach where the client’s goals lead the work and the therapist offers practical tools and guidance.
Amanda has worked in community behavioral health, domestic violence services, healthcare, and with veterans. She also supports caregivers, including those helping people with dementia. Those varied settings inform how she tailors care to real-life situations.
In sessions she helps people build coping skills, set boundaries, process grief, and address intimacy-related or attachment concerns. She draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and the Gottman Method to shape treatment to each person’s needs.
With six years of clinical experience, Amanda aims to create a calm, focused space where people can try new ways of handling hard moments. If you’re unsure what to expect, she encourages questions and a short conversation to see if the fit feels right before beginning work together.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Amanda draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then make values-based choices. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and long-term patterns like avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and intimacy. It can help people who struggle with trust, fear of abandonment, or close-relationship conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She listens to what matters most and adjusts techniques if something isn’t helping or fitting into daily life.
The therapist’s profile does not list specific online session formats, so check current options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow sessions during a lunch break, or reduce travel time. It can also let people try shorter check-ins when life is hectic, or avoid being on camera if that helps them focus. Licensed professionals adapt tools like ACT and attachment work to the online setting so clients can practice skills between sessions and bring real situations back to therapy for discussion.
