About Amanda

Amanda Mason is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia. She has 17 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She talks plainly and focuses on practical steps parents and caregivers can use day to day.

Amanda emphasizes clear goals and small changes. She uses methods that help people notice thoughts, try new behaviors, and tell different stories about hard experiences. Sessions move at a steady, understandable pace so busy adults can follow along.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with issues such as compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting challenges. She also supports people facing aging and geriatric issues, cancer, caregiver stress, divorce, and end-of-life matters. This range informs a flexible, experience-based approach.

Amanda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other methods. She will teach skills for coping with mood changes, managing worry, and handling big life transitions. Practical tools and short-term strategies are common parts of her work.

Therapy sessions can be delivered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Amanda works in English and practices under the Georgia license GA LCSW CSW004108 as an LCSW and CSW. The focus is on helping people find workable steps forward.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting and life changes

Amanda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that match their values. That approach is useful when parents or caregivers feel stuck and want to live more in line with what matters to them.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT provides concrete tools for reducing anxiety, shifting unhelpful thinking, and changing behaviors that get in the way of daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will talk with clients about goals, try an approach, and adjust as needed. The process is collaborative and focused on what helps each person make steady progress.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy families and caregivers. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, while phone, live chat, and text sessions add flexibility for shorter check-ins or when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a family routine and to keep working on skills between sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
