About Amanda

Amanda Tindell is a licensed social worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem concerns. She blends practical, evidence-informed strategies with a compassionate, client-centered stance to support individuals facing life changes, relationship struggles, addictions, sleep difficulties, and attention-related challenges.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses related areas such as adoption and foster care, body image, caregiver stress, family-of-origin dynamics, and grief-related issues like guilt and shame. Drawing on approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), EMDR, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing, she aims to tailor interventions to each person’s needs while fostering collaboration and self-compassion.

Amanda emphasizes skills-building and insight work to help clients improve communication, cope with trauma and dissociation, and navigate codependency or substance-related concerns. With five years of clinical experience, she brings a warm, empathic presence and practical tools to guide people toward greater balance and resilience.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Many clients benefit from a combination of structured and exploratory methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption; it often includes practical homework and skills practice. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills to help manage intense emotions and improve relationships. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional impact through guided, bilateral stimulation and targeted interventions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adapt techniques over time so treatment remains relevant and practical. Clients are invited to provide feedback and help shape the focus of sessions to ensure the plan fits their life and priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility with multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend consistently around work, caregiving, or scheduling constraints and allow skills practice and check-ins between live sessions. Licensed professionals can use online formats to deliver structured interventions, teach coping skills, and support ongoing problem-solving while accommodating individual routines and access needs.
