Hi, I’m Amanda Sifonte, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to supporting teens, adults, and older adults as they navigate the complexities of life. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, addiction, chronic stress, a significant life transition, grief, or managing a chronic condition, I’m here to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered. My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and respect. I believe that healing begins in a safe and nonjudgmental space—one where you can express yourself freely, explore your story, and feel understood. Our work together will be guided by your goals.
In our early sessions, we’ll explore what’s bringing you to therapy and what you hope to gain. Together, we’ll identify your strengths, uncover patterns that may be holding you back, and develop a plan that supports your emotional well-being and personal growth. I draw from evidence-based practices-always tailoring our work to fit your unique needs and pace.
I deeply believe that therapy can be a powerful tool for self-discovery and transformation. You don’t have to go through this alone. It would be an honor to walk beside you on your journey—supporting you in cultivating resilience, building meaningful connections, and creating lasting change.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
