Amanda Grant

Amanda Grant is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience based in New York. She brings years of work across staff, supervisory, clinical, and administrative roles into each session. Amanda focuses on clear, compassionate connection and practical help for people navigating major life shifts. She prioritizes who someone wants to become rather than who they have felt they needed to be.

Her practice often centers on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and self-esteem. She also addresses abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family dynamics, and body image. Amanda commonly works with people facing the effects of sexual trauma or early childhood adversity and those managing co-occurring challenges.

Amanda describes her approach as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and shaped by many clinical roles over the years. She uses what she has learned as a clinician and supervisor to guide practical work in session. Expect focused conversations that aim to identify patterns, try new ways of relating, and address emotional or behavioral needs.

She often works with adolescents, people seeking deep healing or rest, those approaching mid-life or new to parenthood, and people coping with family system stressors. Amanda values collaboration and ongoing professional learning to refine care.

To begin, individuals complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches That Guide Online Work

Amanda draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, attachment, and relationship patterns. For trauma-focused work she helps clients name what happened, track how it affects current feelings and relationships, and practice ways to feel more steady over time. This approach is useful for people coping with sexual trauma or early childhood injury to relationships.

For attachment and relationship issues she focuses on patterns in how people connect and communicate. Sessions look at expectations, boundaries, and new ways of responding to partners, parents, or caregivers to reduce repeated conflict and isolation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda collaborates with each person to clarify goals and try methods that fit their needs and pace. She will review options together and adjust strategies based on progress and feedback.

Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can also adjust pacing, use brief phone or video check-ins when helpful, and help people balance therapy with parenting, work, and daily demands.
