About Amanda

Amanda Marvin is a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship struggles. She works with concerns like parenting strain, career stress, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and identity-related challenges. Amanda brings 11 years of practice to her sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Her style is warm and person-focused. Sessions center on listening first, then trying approaches that fit each person.

Background and approach

She helps clients build clearer communication, better boundaries, and healthier routines. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Amanda uses a mix of methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness practices, and skills from dialectical behavior approaches.

These tools are used to manage strong emotions, reduce avoidance, and improve daily functioning. She adapts methods to match what feels doable for each person. People often come for help with blended family issues, infidelity, addiction, dissociation, and complex mood concerns like bipolar symptoms or disruptive mood dysregulation.

Amanda also supports those facing life transitions, caregiving strain, and family of origin problems. She pays attention to how overlapping issues affect daily life. Sessions aim to be practical and compassionate.

Amanda helps clients set small, measurable goals and build skills they can use between sessions. Progress is tracked in steps that are realistic for busy lives.

Approaches Amanda names

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Amanda commonly blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice hard thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It can help when someone feels stuck by worry, grief, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical strategies to change reactions and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit their life and pace. She treats planning therapy as a collaboration, adjusting tools if something isn’t working or feels overwhelming.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Shorter check-ins or ongoing support via text or live chat are useful for skill practice and quick reflections between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, school, or parenting schedules.
