Amanda Sholty, LCSW

Amanda Sholty is a Florida LCSW with six years of clinical experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, anger, relationships, and other life challenges. She works with people facing grief, trauma, addiction, parenting strain, and career stress. Sessions are focused on practical steps rather than labels.

Amanda draws on a person-centered, strengths-based way of working. She treats the person as the expert in their life and partners with them to set priorities. Expect a collaborative tone where goals are spelled out and progress is checked in regularly.

Her background includes community behavioral health, domestic violence services, healthcare settings, and work with veterans. She also supports caregivers for people with dementia. That variety shapes a pragmatic approach to common problems such as burnout, compassion fatigue, and chronic stress.

Amanda uses a mix of approaches to match the problem at hand. Techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy are used to develop coping skills and change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-informed work and client-centered methods guide conversations about relationships, intimacy, and communication.

Practical tools are part of sessions. This can include mindfulness exercises, behavior-focused experiments, and communication strategies drawn from the Gottman method. She helps people try small changes first, then build on what works. If you want to change how you respond to anger or stress, she focuses on what you can do this week to make that easier.
