About Amanda
Amanda Gale is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of clinical practice experience. She emphasizes a supportive, person-centered style that helps clients take an active role in their progress while relying on practical coping strategies and recovery-based principles.
Background and approach
Amanda draws on a strengths-focused perspective to help people identify what’s already working for them and build skills to navigate stressors, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Her work covers a broad array of concerns including relationship challenges, grief, parenting stress, self-esteem struggles, addiction issues, and ADHD among other areas.
Amanda offers time-limited, skills-focused plans that often aim for measurable change within 8 to 12 sessions while remaining available for ongoing supportive care as needed. She also prioritizes helping caregivers and professionals strengthen supportive networks and problem-solving resources.
Located in South Dakota, Amanda combines evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-based methods to tailor treatment to each client’s goals. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, choice, and practical skill-building so clients can gain confidence and continue applying strategies in everyday life.
Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Amanda often incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT helps people clarify values and commit to meaningful actions while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to change them, often benefiting those coping with depression, anxiety, or impulsivity.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda aims to work with clients to identify their goals, preferences, and practical needs, then tailor a plan that may draw on these methods or others such as attachment-based or client-centered techniques. The plan evolves with client feedback so the best fit emerges through shared decision-making.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing therapy to fit around work, caregiving, and daily life. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care, access different communication styles for skill practice, and find a rhythm that supports ongoing progress with a licensed professional.
