About Amanda
Amanda Spahn, LCSW, focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or major life changes. She listens for the patterns behind emotional pain and works with each person to build practical coping skills and greater self-understanding. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at small steps that add up to real change.
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address panic attacks, phobias, obsessive-compulsive difficulties, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and seasonal affective disorder.
Background and approach
Sessions often include talking through triggers, practicing coping strategies, and experimenting with new ways to respond to fear or shame. Amanda emphasizes self-love and clearer life purpose as part of emotional recovery. People who struggle with attachment wounds, abandonment fears, or codependency can expect focused attention on relationship patterns and boundaries.
She also supports work on control issues, guilt, forgiveness, and women's mental health concerns. Smoking and vaping cessation are offered alongside other behavioral goals when relevant. With three years of clinical experience as a licensed clinical social worker, Amanda provides practical tools and structured support.
She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Amanda practices in Utah and offers sessions in English.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps people can use day to day. One common approach helps people identify and change patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety and panic; it involves noticing triggers, testing fearful predictions, and practicing alternative responses to reduce distress. Another approach concentrates on behaviors and routines, supporting people to build habits that reduce compulsions, manage mood swings, and improve daily functioning.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work she does with clients. She discusses goals, symptoms, and personal preferences, then tailors techniques together with each person. This collaborative process lets the therapist and client adjust methods as progress is made or new needs appear.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, coaching between sessions, or for people who prefer written communication. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while maintaining consistent support.
