About Amannda
Amannda Walworth is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and life changes. She speaks plainly and creates a steady presence so people can talk about hard things without feeling rushed. Her manner is warm and engaging, and she aims to help people notice their strengths while facing difficult feelings and situations.
She uses psychodynamic ideas to help uncover patterns that affect relationships and daily life.
Background and approach
Amannda also holds a Certificate in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy from the Metropolitan Institute for Training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, which informs how she thinks about early wounds and recurring struggles. Her background includes work in outpatient mental health settings in New York.
Over more than a decade she has supported people affected by trauma, abuse, loss, and the fallout those experiences can cause in work and family life. She pays close attention to how isolation and shame show up in day-to-day living. Amannda has extensive experience with intellectual disability and Autism and understands the practical and emotional challenges families face.
She aims to remain attuned to sensory and emotional states and to offer consistent, calm support during sessions. Her training includes a Master’s in Social Work from City University of New York, Lehman College, and a Bachelor’s from State University of New York at Buffalo. She works collaboratively to help clients name barriers and build on what already works for them.
Practical approaches for online family and parenting support
Amannda draws from psychodynamic and psychoanalytic-informed techniques to help people understand how early experiences shape current relationships and reactions. She uses this perspective to identify repeating patterns that cause stress or conflict and to name feelings that can feel confusing or overwhelming.She also integrates clear, supportive coaching around coping and communication. That work focuses on concrete skills for handling grief, anxiety, and difficult conversations within the family system, and on practical steps to reduce day-to-day stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amannda works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as those needs change.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy households. These remote options make it possible to meet without travel, schedule around family routines, and continue work between appointments when helpful.
