Amanda Grant, LCSW

Amanda Grant is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience in New York. She brings years of work as a therapist, supervisor, staff clinician, and administrator into each session. Amanda focuses on meeting people where they are and helping them move toward who they want to become.

She often helps people who are navigating relationships, intimacy questions, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and low self-esteem. Her work also addresses attachment wounds, effects of early childhood experiences, and sexual trauma. Amanda commonly supports people managing blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care questions, and caregiver stress.

Amanda’s approach is practical and person-centered. She listens for patterns in thoughts and everyday habits and then helps clients try new ways of relating and coping. Sessions tend to focus on small, manageable changes that build over time.

She has a history of working with adolescents and with people approaching mid-life or entering parenthood. Amanda also works with those seeking deep healing or a chance to slow down and rest. Her background includes practice in multiple clinical settings, which she uses to shape how she supports each person.

Amanda welcomes conversations about attachment, behavioral needs rooted in emotional disabilities, communication problems, and issues around body image and sexuality. She values ongoing professional growth and learning, and brings that mindset to therapy.

How Amanda Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online

Amanda describes her practice as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on healing thoughts and everyday habits. One common approach she uses centers on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors in daily life; this helps people change how they react to old triggers. Another approach focuses on attachment and relationship patterns, helping clients notice interaction styles and try alternative ways of connecting that feel safer and more satisfying.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda works with each person to figure out which methods match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She checks in about what’s working and adjusts the focus as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant and useful.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can occur between commitments. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these techniques effectively in remote work when goals, scheduling, and the practical needs of daily life are taken into account.
