Amanda Sholty, LCSW

Amanda Sholty is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with six years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She works with adults facing grief, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, parenting strains, and issues related to attachment and family of origin. Sessions address practical problems such as communication, boundaries, and coping skills.

Sholty favors a person-centered, strengths-based approach that keeps the client's priorities central. She treats people as the experts on their own lives and collaborates on goals and steps forward. That means conversations focus on what matters now and on clear, manageable strategies for change.

Her background includes work in community behavioral health, domestic violence services, healthcare settings, and with veterans. She has also supported caregivers for people living with dementia. Those experiences inform how she helps clients navigate complex stressors and caregiving demands.

Clinically she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, Client-Centered Therapy, and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship issues come up. She uses these methods to help people notice patterns from their family of origin, try different responses, and commit to values-driven steps.

Sessions tend to focus on concrete skills such as setting boundaries, improving communication, managing anxiety, and creating routines that fit daily life. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs, with a focus on small, practical changes that reduce distress and improve functioning.
