About Amanda

Amanda Parulski is a licensed clinical social worker in Oregon who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and family concerns. She focuses on practical, short-term work that aims to build on a person’s strengths. Amanda writes plainly and meets people where they are in their lives.

She uses a solution-focused approach to identify clear goals and next steps. Sessions are aimed at small, manageable changes that add up over time.

Background and approach

Amanda also draws on client-centered ideas, listening closely and shaping the work around each person’s priorities. Narrative therapy is part of her toolkit too, helping people separate themselves from their problems and rewrite the stories that hold them back. This can be especially helpful for people facing divorce, blended family issues, or difficult life transitions.

Amanda has 11 years of clinical experience and practices with a direct, supportive style. She emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies rather than lengthy analysis. Many clients come for help with caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, pregnancy and childbirth issues, and challenges common to young adults.

Getting started is straightforward: complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a session that fits your life. Amanda’s availability tends to include weekday evenings, some mornings, and Saturday mornings. Her work is brief and goal-oriented, and she supports people who want clear steps toward feeling more capable.

Online support

How Amanda’s approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In practice this means sessions are shaped around the client’s goals and priorities, with the therapist reflecting and asking questions to clarify what will help. Narrative Therapy helps people step back from a problem and look at the stories they tell about themselves. Online sessions can use this to rewrite unhelpful narratives around divorce, loss, or family roles and imagine different possibilities.

Solution-Focused Therapy is about practical steps and measurable progress. The work centers on small changes and clear goals rather than long-term analysis, which can be a good fit for online formats where people want concrete strategies they can try between sessions. Amanda will collaborate with each person to choose the approach or mix of approaches that best fits their needs and preferences. Online sessions offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when needed. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in fits a workday. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send brief updates, try short exercises, or keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the work focused on practical, goal-driven change.
