About Amanda

Amanda Scardino is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 25 years of clinical experience supporting adults, couples, and families through a wide range of life transitions and challenges. She creates an affirming, inclusive environment that intentionally welcomes LGBTQ+ clients and those seeking a progressive, non-religious therapeutic setting. Amanda concentrates on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship and family dynamics, cope with grief or parenting challenges, and address concerns such as depression, self-esteem, intimacy, anger, career issues, and ADHD.

Her work is grounded in a compassionate, client-centered stance that honors each person’s unique story and strengths. She draws on evidence-based practices to help clients build resilience, improve communication, and foster sustainable personal growth. Amanda emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and practical skills so clients can make meaningful changes in day-to-day life.

Known for non-judgmental guidance and steady support, Amanda aims to empower individuals to identify their values, clarify priorities, and take actionable steps toward healthier relationships and greater well-being. She also accepts international clients and offers multiple ways to connect for care.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and take committed action aligned with their values, even when difficult thoughts or emotions arise. This approach can be useful for people facing anxiety, life changes, or challenges in motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior, offering concrete tools to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and awareness practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment coping skills, which can support stress management and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amanda collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so therapy remains practical and personally relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with care, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family, and travel, and they expand access for clients who live far from providers or who prefer remote sessions. Licensed professionals can deliver effective, goal-oriented work through these formats while tailoring the pace and tools to each individual client.
