ALR Therapy
About Amanda's therapy services
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, working with adolescents and adults navigating life’s challenges, transitions, and stress. Whether you’re coping with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, or the pressures of high expectations, you don’t have to face these experiences alone.
I work with clients across several areas:
Emotional & mental health
- Trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and adjustment challenges
Stress & life balance
- Career pressures, burnout, perfectionism, and parents/caregivers feeling stretched thin
Health-related challenges
- Chronic illness, chronic pain, and the emotional impact of ongoing health concerns
Together, we explore what feels stuck, identify patterns, and focus on practical, meaningful changes. Therapy is collaborative and action-oriented, helping you make sustainable progress and reconnect with hope.
I earned my undergraduate degree from Eckerd College and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Argosy University in 2014. With over 11 years of experience in crisis centers, community mental health agencies, child welfare, and managed care, I bring a grounded, practical, and compassionate approach to therapy.
I offer virtual therapy through a secure platform, making care accessible throughout Florida.

Therapeutic Approach
Therapy works best when it meets you where you are. I take a collaborative, person-centered approach, using strategies that are practical, supportive, and focused on helping you move forward. My work draws from several evidence-based approaches, including:
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Helping you accept difficult emotions while moving toward a life that feels meaningful.
- Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Supporting awareness, focus, and calm in the present moment.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Exploring thoughts and patterns to create practical, lasting change.
- Trauma-Focused Therapy: Processing past experiences safely and reducing their ongoing impact.
- Strength-Based Approaches: Building on your existing skills and resilience to navigate challenges.
In our sessions, therapy is both a space to reflect and a process to take action. We identify what feels stuck, explore patterns that may be holding you back, and focus on changes that fit your life and values. The goal is meaningful, sustainable progress—not quick fixes.

I recommend that clients start therapy with weekly sessions, but we can tailor the frequency to what works best for you. Therapy can be either short-term or longer-term, depending on your needs. The time it takes to see results from counseling varies; some clients might notice improvements after just a few sessions, while others may benefit from a longer duration of therapy.

Sliding Scale
I do offer a sliding scale for clients experiencing financial hardship. If cost is a concern, please don’t hesitate to ask about availability during your consultation. I believe therapy should be as accessible as possible.
I request a minimum of 48 hours prior to cancelling an appointment. It is often difficult to fill an appointment spot at the last minute. Failure to cancel a minimum of 48 hours in advance will result in a charge to you for the usual hourly fee.
