Amanda Naso , LPCC

Amanda Naso, LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor), brings 11 years of Ohio-based clinical experience to her work with adult individuals and couples. She focuses on helping people navigate stress and anxiety, manage anger, address addictions, and rebuild relationships affected by conflict or life transitions. Her practice also includes support for those coping with divorce, blended family dynamics, involvement in the legal system, and other challenging changes.

Amanda draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients develop practical skills for coping and decision making. She works collaboratively with each person to identify concrete goals and to practice strategies that fit their daily lives and responsibilities. Her approach is tailored to the concerns presented, whether the issue involves mood or panic symptoms, substance use, communication breakdowns, or trauma-related struggles.

In sessions Amanda emphasizes an open and nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. She recognizes that seeking change requires courage and offers steady support throughout the process. Her aim is to help clients move toward greater functioning and satisfaction by building coping skills, improving relationships, and addressing the problems that brought them to therapy.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Virtual Care

Amanda uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical skill building to reduce stress and manage anxiety and anger. These approaches emphasize learning concrete coping tools, emotion regulation strategies, and problem-solving methods that can be practiced between sessions to support daily functioning.

She also employs relationship-focused evidence-based work to address communication problems, blended family challenges, and issues related to separation or infidelity. This kind of approach helps partners and family members improve interactions, set clearer boundaries, and repair trust where possible.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda partners with each person or couple to assess needs, experiment with techniques, and adjust the plan as goals and preferences evolve. She guides the selection of methods that best fit individual circumstances and priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call or phone, or connect through live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from the locations where clients live.
