About Amanda
Amanda Gale is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical skills that help people manage day-to-day stress, mood concerns, and life changes. Amanda aims to help clients build confidence and clearer plans for moving forward.
Her approach is supportive and person-centered. She treats clients as partners in planning goals and deciding steps. Sessions emphasize coping tools, problem solving, and identifying personal strengths to rely on during hard moments.
Background and approach
Amanda draws on several therapeutic methods to fit each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice their values and take small committed steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify patterns of thought that make anxiety or depression worse.
Attachment-based ideas help address relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current behavior. She has worked across individual, group, and family formats and has experience helping caregivers and professionals facing compassion fatigue. Her focus areas include anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, parenting stress, relationship struggles, and coping with chronic illness or major life shifts.
Amanda often offers short-term plans of about 8 to 12 sessions to teach skills and build momentum. She then supports people in keeping those gains or moves to ongoing supportive sessions when needed. Her style is steady, strengths-focused, and collaborative.
Online approaches for building skills and connection
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps even when thoughts or feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical ways to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It often helps with anxiety, mood, and impulsivity. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns show up now and helps people improve communication and emotional connection in important relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. From there she collaborates on a plan and adjusts methods as progress is made, so therapy fits the individual rather than the other way around.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is good for longer, interactive sessions. Phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat or messaging is useful for shorter updates, brief coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules and to stick with skill practice between meetings.
