Amanda Spahn, LCSW

Amanda Spahn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Utah who focuses on helping people navigate depression, anxiety, and major life transitions. With three years of clinical experience, she supports clients in building resilience, increasing self-understanding, and developing practical coping skills to manage daily stress and emotional overwhelm.

Amanda works with a wide range of concerns including bipolar disorder, panic and phobic reactions, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and seasonal mood shifts. She also offers focused care for attachment-related issues such as abandonment, codependency, and difficulties with trust, as well as support for people struggling with guilt, shame, and questions of life purpose.

Her practice places emphasis on fostering self-love, improving self-esteem, and creating healthier relational patterns, with particular attention to women's mental health. Amanda draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a collaborative style to help clients challenge limiting beliefs, learn new coping strategies, and move toward meaningful change. She aims to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their inner world and build stronger emotional well-being over time.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Amanda uses practical, evidence-based approaches that help people change how they respond to difficult thoughts and emotions. One approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and teaching concrete skills for managing anxiety, panic, and depressive symptoms so daily functioning can improve. Another approach focuses on exploring attachment and relational patterns to address issues like abandonment, codependency, and difficulties with trust, helping clients build healthier connections and stronger self-regard.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Amanda collaborates with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts techniques over time so treatment fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent care from home or while on the go. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, allow for ongoing skill practice between sessions, and help clients maintain continuity of care even when life is busy or in transition.
