About Amanda

Amanda Roman is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California with six years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self esteem, and depression. Her approach is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping clients feel heard and understood in sessions.

Amanda creates a calm setting where people can talk about their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. She emphasizes practical steps alongside personal reflection so clients can try new ways of coping between meetings. Sessions move at a pace each person finds comfortable.

Her work draws on methods that encourage acceptance, present-moment awareness, and skills for changing unhelpful patterns. She also uses client-centered listening to follow each person’s priorities. This mix helps people build confidence and clearer day-to-day routines.

Amanda often focuses on problems like communication difficulties, feelings of guilt or shame, impulsive reactions, and loneliness. She also supports people who are questioning life purpose or working on mood concerns and self-love. The goal is steady progress toward more reliable emotional balance.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and Amanda aims to make that step easier. She offers practical, human support while helping people try out new habits that fit their daily life.

How Amanda’s approaches work in online therapy

Amanda practices Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that translate well to remote sessions. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based action, helping people commit to small, meaningful steps even when feelings are hard. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and lift mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit their situation. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress and life circumstances change.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, which can help transfer new habits into daily life.
