Amanda Dulaney, LICSW

Amanda Dulaney is a licensed independent clinical social worker, LICSW, practicing in Alabama. She focuses on grief, coping with life changes, self-esteem, and career concerns. Amanda creates a calm space where people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings without judgment.

She emphasizes practical steps alongside emotional support. That can mean making a plan to handle a painful change, finding ways to rebuild motivation, or working on how someone talks to themselves. Amanda listens for what matters most to each person and helps set small, achievable goals.

Her background includes three years of clinical experience as a LICSW. Amanda has worked with people facing loss, chronic health challenges, caregiver stress, and relationship shifts such as divorce and separation. She also supports people dealing with isolation, workplace stress, and questions about life purpose.

Sessions tend to focus on clear, usable strategies. Amanda may help identify patterns that hold someone back and practice new responses. She encourages self-compassion and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People choosing her often want an approachable therapist who balances listening with concrete tools. If someone is coping with bereavement, adjusting to illness or disability, or rethinking career direction, Amanda aims to be a steady collaborator on those next steps.

How evidence-based approaches guide online therapy

Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional support. One common approach helps people process grief by naming feelings, building routines, and finding small steps to re-engage with life. Another approach centers on coping with chronic illness or pain by developing pacing strategies, problem-solving around daily tasks, and reducing unhelpful self-blame.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will collaborate with each person to decide what methods feel most useful. She listens to goals and preferences, then adjusts techniques as progress is made so the plan fits real life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose a quieter time slot or avoid camera use if that feels more comfortable. Licensed professionals aim to make sessions practical and applicable to daily routines, helping people move toward clearer goals without adding extra burden.
