Amanda DiGenova, LMHC

Amanda DiGenova is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and stress. Amanda also addresses addictions, self-esteem, and a range of life changes with a clear, encouraging approach.

Amanda uses a holistic lens that connects mind, body, and everyday routines. She favors a warm, motivating style that emphasizes strengths and practical steps. Sessions aim to be collaborative and tailored to each person's goals rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

Over a decade of clinical work informs her practice. Amanda has experience with individuals and with people navigating family structure, parenting challenges, and blended family concerns. She has also worked with people impacted by substance use, domestic violence, chronic illness, and cancer-related stress.

Amanda has particular familiarity with intimacy-related concerns and with alternative sexual cultures, including BDSM and kink, and she brings that awareness into conversations about relationships and desire. She also supports people facing abandonment issues, codependency, body image, and commitment worries.

Her methods draw on client-centered principles, cognitive behavioral skills, dialectical behavior techniques, existential reflection, and mindfulness practice. Amanda integrates practical coping tools with exploration of values and meaning.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online therapy

Amanda draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practice to shape her work online. Client-centered therapy centers on the person’s own goals and experiences and helps people feel heard while they make changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on practical skills to identify and change thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or relationship conflict. Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support coping with stress and chronic pain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend a mix of strategies that fit your situation. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and realistic for everyday life.

Check the session options before booking to confirm what formats are currently offered. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when a brief session is all that is needed. It also supports continuing regular care during life transitions and can let people practice skills in the settings where they live and work.
