About Amanda
Amanda Marvin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 11 years of experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, relationship and family concerns, and issues tied to blended households. Amanda also supports people with trauma and abuse, parenting strains, compassion fatigue, and identity matters related to LGBT clients.
Her sessions are straightforward and practical. She helps people identify what feels most urgent, then teaches skills to manage moods and relationships. Conversations focus on clear goals, behavior changes, and coping strategies rather than jargon or abstract theory.
Amanda uses several evidence-based methods to guide therapy. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and short-term actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are introduced for emotion regulation and stress management.
Her background as a social worker means she attends to life context as well as symptoms. She pays attention to family of origin patterns, communication problems, and practical aspects of blended family life. Sessions often include role practice for difficult conversations and step-by-step plans for managing co-parenting or loyalty conflicts.
People looking for focused, skill-based help around parenting, relationship strain, or adjusting to a new household may find her approach useful. Amanda works with adults only and conducts therapy in English. Confirm current session options before booking.
How Amanda uses evidence-based approaches online
Amanda commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that match those values, which can help people in transition or dealing with family role changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behavior patterns, teaching practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Amanda treats therapeutic method as collaborative and will discuss what fits with a persons goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they review what is helping, what is not, and adjust approaches as needed.
