About Amanda
Amanda Norah-Brooks is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia with 20 years in the mental health field.

Conversations include concrete strategies for routines, impulse control, and communication. Amanda can also work through issues that touch on health crises, end-of-life concerns, and immigration stressors.

How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Amanda works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tackle common problems in family life. Cognitive-behavioral style methods focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; they often include short exercises and practice tasks to try between meetings. Skills-based approaches address communication, routine-building, and anger management by teaching clear, repeatable steps people can use at home or during transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will help clients identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and daily life. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made, with adjustments based on what helps most in real situations.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try strategies in the actual places where conflicts and routines happen, so skills transfer to everyday life more quickly.
