About Amanda
Amanda DiGenova is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship strain, and family-related issues. Amanda also supports people facing challenges with sexual orientation, blended family dynamics, and parenting stress.
Her sessions focus on practical conversation and skill building. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and reflect, and uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice patterns of thought and behavior. Dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness practices are also part of her approach when they fit a person’s needs.
Amanda has worked with individuals and with couples and family situations tied to substance use and changing family structures. She also has experience related to sexual behaviors and legal involvement among adolescents and their families, knowledge she brings when relevant to adult concerns about family of origin or parenting. Her LMHC credential is listed as NY LMHC.
In sessions she aims to help people identify what gets in the way of daily functioning and to practice concrete tools for coping. That can include emotion regulation skills, communication techniques, or steps to reduce unhelpful thinking.
She integrates ideas about the body and complementary practices when clients are interested, and takes a straightforward, motivating approach. People who come because childhood roles, expectations, or family conflict continue to affect their present life often work on clearer boundaries, decision making, and repairing or redefining relationships.
How Amanda blends approaches in online work
Amanda commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy online. Client-centered therapy means the therapist focuses on listening and reflecting to help people clarify their goals and concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety or depression.She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills when emotion regulation or interpersonal difficulty is a main concern. DBT offers concrete practices for managing strong feelings and improving communication, which can be useful for relationship strain or anger issues.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Amanda will talk with each person about their goals, daily routines, and preferences and will suggest methods that match those needs. That process is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is observed.
