Aminata Kamara, LCSW

Aminata Kamara is a licensed clinician who provides a welcoming, nonjudgmental space for adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and major life transitions. As an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - she combines compassion with structure to help people gain clarity, identify unhelpful patterns, and develop practical skills that can be used in daily life.

Working with individuals facing mood disorders, including Bipolar Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder, Aminata emphasizes concrete tools and coping strategies that support emotional regulation and resilience. She approaches therapy as a partnership, walking alongside clients rather than trying to "fix" them, and helping them make sense of difficult feelings and recurring patterns that keep them stuck.

If faith is an important part of a person’s life, Aminata may integrate those beliefs as a source of strength and guidance when desired. Beginning therapy is framed as an initial conversation in which she learns about current challenges and goals, and together with the client creates a clear, achievable plan to move forward. When someone is ready to seek support, Aminata offers steady, practical guidance to help them take the next steps.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

She uses evidence-based, structured, skills-focused techniques that teach practical coping strategies for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and mood fluctuations. These approaches emphasize learning specific tools to reduce symptoms and improve everyday functioning, such as breathing, grounding, and activity planning.

Alongside skills work, she offers exploratory, pattern-focused therapy that helps clients understand recurring behaviors and relationship dynamics. This work supports insight into why certain emotional reactions recur and helps clients develop alternative responses that better align with their goals.

If faith matters to a client, she can incorporate spiritual resources as part of treatment when desired, using them as additional sources of strength and meaning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. Online therapy with her is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for adults to access consistent support and to practice skills between sessions.
