About Amannda
Amannda Walworth is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes. Amannda also focuses on issues related to Autism and Asperger Syndrome, intellectual disability, communication problems, guilt and shame, money and financial stress, self-harm, and workplace difficulties.
She describes connection as a human instinct and attends to how early wounds can affect present life. In sessions she talks through how those early patterns show up now - in relationships, mood, and work. She aims to help people clarify their strengths and identify barriers to closer relationships and better day-to-day functioning.
Amannda draws on psychodynamic psychotherapy principles and holds a Certificate in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy from the Metropolitan Institute for Training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. She also has a Master’s in Social Work from CUNY Lehman College and a Bachelor’s from SUNY Buffalo. Her background includes work across outpatient mental health settings.
She has long experience supporting people connected to intellectual disability and Autism, and she is familiar with the logistical and emotional challenges those situations bring. Amannda works with clients to process grief, reflect on family patterns, and consider practical next steps for care and communication.
Her approach is individualized to each person’s needs and emphasizes steady, consistent presence in sessions. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking and follow the site’s intake steps to begin.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Amannda’s work draws on psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalytic ideas. Psychodynamic methods look at recurring patterns that started in earlier relationships and consider how those patterns affect current mood and behavior. This approach can help when family of origin issues and repeated relationship roles cause stress or anxiety.She also brings experience supporting people connected to Autism and intellectual disability, which includes attending to sensory and emotional states and focusing on practical communication and daily needs. That practical focus can help with grief, workplace problems, and money-related stress by identifying small, manageable changes.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Amannda will collaborate with each person to decide what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. She will explain suggested methods and adjust them as you give feedback so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online options often make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing commute time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. Check the platform’s session choices when you book to see what formats are available and which will work best for your schedule.
