About Amanda

Amanda Spahn, LCSW, helps people who feel stuck by focusing on self-worth and practical coping skills. She works with individuals facing anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and life changes who want clearer thinking and steadier days. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at small, manageable steps toward feeling better.

She centers sessions on understanding patterns that keep people stuck. That includes work on shame, guilt, abandonment worries, and attachment challenges. Conversations often look at daily habits, thoughts, and relationships to find concrete ways to reduce distress.

Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a collaborative approach. She invites clients to set goals, try new behaviors, and notice what helps. Therapy emphasizes building self-love, discovering life purpose, and expanding emotional resilience.

She also addresses issues such as panic and phobic reactions, obsessive-compulsive experiences, social anxiety, and seasonal mood shifts. Smoking or vaping cessation and women’s mental health concerns are part of her focus when relevant to a client’s goals.

Amanda has three years of clinical experience and holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential. She practices in Utah and conducts sessions in English. People who want a practical, nonjudgmental space to work on self-esteem and everyday coping may find her approach helpful.

How Amanda uses structured techniques in online work

Amanda draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding thoughts and building practical skills. One common approach involves identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new responses; this helps reduce anxiety and depressive patterns by changing what people do day to day. Another approach centers on skill building for emotional regulation and coping - learning small routines and behaviors that steady mood and improve self-care.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda works with each person to match techniques to their goals, preferences, and what fits into daily life. She begins by asking about what the client wants to change, then tries methods and checks what feels helpful, adjusting as needed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats when you book so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people experiment with new skills between meetings and bring real-life situations into session conversations for immediate feedback.
