About Amanda
Amanda DiGenova is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who uses a client-centered approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and issues around identity and intimacy. She brings ten years of practical experience to sessions and focuses on creating a space where people can talk through what matters most to them.
Her work blends practical strategies with attention to values and meaning. She offers cognitive behavioral tools to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also incorporates dialectical behavior ideas to manage strong emotions and mindfulness practices to support calm and presence.
Amanda draws on a wide range of experience with substance use concerns, grief and loss, anger, and challenges stemming from changes in family structure. She helps people struggling with body image, codependency, chronic illness, and caregiver stress find clearer choices and steadier routines.
Sessions emphasize motivation and real-world steps. Amanda aims to be encouraging and practical, helping clients set achievable goals and notice small changes over time. She values working with people who want to align what they do with what they care about.
For those interested in addressing issues related to kink, commitment, communication, or intimacy-related concerns, she brings a nonjudgmental perspective and direct conversations about boundaries and consent. Clients who want a collaborative, goal-oriented approach often find this style helpful.
How Amanda's approaches translate to online work
Amanda integrates client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness practices to help people manage symptoms and make clear choices. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's own goals and pace, focusing on listening and empathy to build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to change outcomes. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which tools to try first and adjust the plan as needs change.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Many people find remote work easier to fit into a busy schedule, since it can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep consistent appointments. Online sessions can allow for shorter check-ins or flexible timing when days are unpredictable. Amanda will help tailor the structure of sessions to fit daily life while keeping focus on practical steps and emotional regulation.
