Amanda Roel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with a decade of professional experience guiding people through periods of stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and PTSD, depression, and challenges with self-esteem. She also brings experience addressing veteran-related concerns, moral injury, and issues tied to forgiveness, guilt and shame, and life purpose, offering focused support for post-traumatic stress and the development of self-love.

Amanda approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she designs conversations and treatment plans to reflect the unique circumstances and goals of each client. Her work emphasizes practical strategies and personal empowerment, helping clients take the often-difficult first steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process, supporting and encouraging clients as they define what healing and growth look like for them. Amanda aims to tailor her guidance so that it fits individual needs, pace, and priorities, helping clients build resilience and move toward clearer purpose and greater well-being.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Access

Many clients benefit from structured, evidence-based techniques that focus on how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. Amanda uses practical cognitive and behavioral strategies to help people manage symptoms of anxiety, stress, and depression by teaching skills for identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of responding. She also incorporates trauma-informed methods that emphasize pacing, safety, and processing of difficult experiences to address trauma, PTSD, and moral injury in a way that honors each person’s readiness to engage.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so the plan aligns with what works best for the individual. This partnership helps ensure therapy stays relevant and responsive to changing circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and integrate therapeutic work into a busy life while working with licensed professionals focused on recovery and growth.
