About Amanda
Amanda Spahn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and major life changes. Amanda also focuses on concerns such as self-esteem, panic and obsessive-compulsive experiences, and issues tied to attachment and abandonment.
She helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and develop workable coping skills. Sessions often involve talking through difficult emotions like guilt, shame, and control issues, and working to increase self-love and clearer priorities. Amanda frames these conversations around life purpose when that is important to the person she is working with.
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and keeps the work collaborative. She aims to help clients understand their habits and try new ways of responding to stress and anxiety. Conversations can include practical strategies to manage panic attacks, reduce compulsive behaviors, and cope with seasonal mood shifts.
Her practice also addresses smoking and vaping cessation and women's mental health topics. Amanda encourages clients to set realistic steps and to notice progress over time rather than expecting immediate change. She asks questions that help people clarify what matters next in work, relationships, or health.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Amanda works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building new coping skills. One common approach she uses emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to reduce anxiety and depressive thinking. This helps with panic, social fear, and mood-related symptoms by teaching concrete ways to respond to distress.Another frequently used method focuses on behaviors and exposure, gently guiding people to face avoided situations or compulsive urges in manageable steps. That approach can reduce avoidance, lower panic responses, and lessen compulsive rituals over time.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amanda discusses options with each person and adapts the plan based on their goals and everyday demands. The decision about which techniques to try is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

Amanda will help plan a rhythm of sessions that fits the client’s schedule and therapeutic needs.
