About Amanda

Amanda Raether is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addictions, self-esteem concerns, and ADHD, among many other challenges.

Background and approach

Her background includes individual and group work, mentorship, and advocacy across diverse life circumstances, and she aims to create a supportive connection that helps clients articulate difficult emotions and navigate life changes. Her therapeutic stance is warm, empathic, and empowering, with flexibility to use short-term or longer-term strategies depending on a person’s needs.

Amanda draws from client-centered principles alongside cognitive and behavioral methods to address symptoms and build practical skills. She also incorporates mindfulness and motivational interviewing where helpful, tailoring interventions to each person’s goals and situation while encouraging collaboration and self-directed growth.

Approach and Online Care That Adapts to Your Needs

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening carefully and building a respectful, supportive relationship so clients feel heard and can explore personal goals and values. This approach helps people who want a collaborative space to process feelings and make decisions that fit their life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. CBT offers practical tools and skill-building that many people find useful for managing day-to-day challenges.

Amanda approaches care as a collaborative process and will work with each person to determine which methods fit best given their concerns, goals, and personal preferences. Finding the right approach can take time, and she tailors interventions so treatment aligns with what the client hopes to accomplish.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regularly, try different formats, and maintain continuity of care when life is busy or circumstances change.
