Amada Tro, LMHC, LMFT - Therapist in Florida

About Amada

Amada Tro practices with a focus on client-centered care, using the person’s own goals to guide sessions. She is a licensed mental health counselor and licensed marriage and family therapist in Florida with 30 years of experience. Her approach emphasizes listening first, then working together to set realistic steps forward.

Many people come to her for stress, anxiety, sleep problems, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, or trauma and abuse concerns.

Background and approach

She keeps sessions practical and direct. Conversations explore what matters most and small changes that can help at home. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used when patterns of thinking and behavior contribute to distress.

Mindfulness practices are introduced to help calm the body and focus attention when that is helpful. Amada draws on three decades of practice in Florida settings. Her training includes LMHC which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor and LMFT for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

She works in both English and Spanish and accepts international clients for online work. Typical sessions may include talking through a current problem, trying a short exercise together, and agreeing on simple tasks to try between meetings. Parents often appreciate practical tips they can use right away.

The overall goal is to make daily life feel more manageable. New clients start with a brief intake to share priorities and create a plan. The therapy process is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Amada aims to support steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths. Sessions begin with listening and follow the client’s lead to identify what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful space to make sense of challenges and decide next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It uses simple exercises and experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and many day-to-day difficulties.

Mindfulness practices bring attention to the present moment and to bodily cues. Short, practical exercises are offered to help reduce stress and increase focus during parenting or relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and tailor techniques to fit a person’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities. Together they decide what to try and adjust the plan as needed.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different locations. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging allow people to connect from home or while traveling. These formats make it easier to continue regular work on goals and to use strategies between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
