About Amanda
Amanda Roman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in California with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and depression, and also works with concerns such as communication problems, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, life purpose, mood disorders, and self-love.
She invites straightforward conversation about what feels heavy or stuck. Sessions are conversational and practical. Amanda listens for the patterns that keep someone feeling guilty, ashamed, or isolated, and then helps name those patterns so they are easier to work with.
Her approach draws on several methods to suit different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice unhelpful thoughts and test them against real experience. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports choosing actions that match values even when feelings are hard. Client-Centered principles keep the work focused on the person’s goals and pace.
Amanda also brings elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Existential Therapy when they fit the situation. That can mean learning emotion-regulation skills, or talking about meaning and purpose when life feels uncertain. She aims to make therapy a practical part of daily life rather than an abstract exercise.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Amanda practices in California and conducts sessions in English. The cost varies with location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Amanda’s approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them, then taking steps that match your values. It is often used when someone wants to act differently despite persistent guilt or anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks for patterns in thoughts and behaviors and uses small experiments to test and change them. CBT is useful for worrying, low mood, and repetitive self-critical thinking.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss methods and test what helps in early sessions. She treats the choice of approach as collaborative, adapting methods to someone’s goals, preferences, and what shows up in conversation.
The original biography does not list specific digital session formats, so confirm the session options before booking. Many people find online work fits better around daily life because it avoids travel, can be scheduled during breaks, and can make shorter check-ins easier. Practical benefits include fitting therapy into a weekday or work break, avoiding transit time, and choosing whether to be on camera or use audio depending on what feels manageable.
