About Amanda
Amanda Roman is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with six years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in confidence, or depressed and those who are unsure about their life purpose.
Amanda focuses on practical conversations about what is happening now. She talks through thoughts, moods, and habits that get in the way of feeling motivated. Sessions look at how everyday choices affect stress and self-esteem and explore small shifts people can try between meetings.
Her work draws on several approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That means she pays attention to thoughts and behaviors, notices what matters most to each person, and practices skills for handling difficult feelings.
People who come for help with communication problems, guilt and shame, impulsivity, or loneliness will find sessions that mix skill-building and open conversation. Amanda also supports those coping with mood disorders and questions about self-love and life purpose.
She encourages a collaborative approach: setting clear goals, checking progress, and adjusting plans if something is not working. If you are thinking about starting, she asks a few simple questions first and then helps arrange the initial session so you can decide what feels most useful.
How Amanda's approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when someone feels stuck about purpose or motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an open conversational stance where the therapist listens and reflects to help a person understand their own priorities and choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will review your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan based on what you find useful. That collaborative process helps identify which techniques to use and how to pace sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when needed, or choose less bandwidth-intensive contact when that helps. Many people find that remote sessions let them maintain regular appointments around work, care, or travel without changing the focus of the therapy.
