About Amanda
Amanda Grant is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New York with 14 years of experience. She works with adults on relationship concerns, intimacy issues, parenting questions, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. She commonly addresses family of origin patterns and attachment concerns that influence current relationships.
Her background includes roles as a staff clinician, supervisor, therapist, and administrator in a range of settings. That mix of experience shapes how she structures sessions and sets practical goals. She has worked with people facing early childhood impacts, sexual trauma, and behavioral needs linked to emotional disabilities.
Amanda usually focuses on attachment, abandonment and adoption concerns, and blended family issues. She also helps with communication problems, codependency, commitment difficulties, and the stresses caregivers face. Other areas she attends to include body image, autism and Asperger syndrome, and separation or divorce challenges.
In sessions she aims to help clients notice recurring family patterns and how those patterns play out now. Conversations tend to look at roles people learned in childhood, expectations carried into adult life, and ways to try different responses. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and continues to learn new methods throughout her career.
People who come to her are often preparing for major life transitions, exploring sexuality and sense of self, or seeking clearer ways to parent. Amanda asks people to start by completing a short questionnaire and scheduling an initial session so they can set goals together.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on attachment and on addressing the impact of early experiences. Attachment-focused work looks at patterns of closeness and distance learned in childhood and helps clients try new ways of relating in current relationships. Trauma-informed approaches aim to help people process difficult past events and reduce how much those memories shape daily reactions.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Amanda reviews goals and preferences with each person and adjusts techniques as therapy progresses. The choice of methods is guided by what the client wants to change, how they respond in sessions, and practical concerns such as session length and frequency.

Amanda will talk through which session rhythm and format will best suit a client's schedule and needs.
