About Amanda

Amanda Gale, LCSW, CSW-PIP, is licensed in Wyoming and South Dakota and has 12 years of clinical practice experience. She works with people on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting concerns, grief, addictions, ADHD, and related challenges. Her work emphasizes person-centered care and short-term, skills-focused therapy to help clients regain confidence and manage everyday problems.

Amanda frames therapy as collaborative. She describes herself as a guide and mentor who helps clients build practical coping skills. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, making concrete plans, and improving problem solving. She favors a strengths-based approach rather than labeling people by deficits.

She often uses short-term work of about 8 to 12 sessions. During that time she helps people learn tools they can use on their own after therapy. She can continue to offer supportive sessions beyond that initial timeframe when needed. The aim is to give clients skills and confidence they can practice in daily life.

Amanda draws on several evidence-informed methods. Her approach includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. These approaches are used to address mood, coping, relationships, and behavior patterns.

She has provided individual, group, and family therapy in previous roles and has experience supporting caregivers and professionals with work-related stress. Amanda also helps people map and strengthen their support networks so those supports are available when needed.

Sessions are conducted in English. Amanda accepts international clients and works with adults who want practical strategies for coping, improving relationships, and building confidence.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Amanda commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking action toward a meaningful life while learning simple skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and close relationships shape current patterns and helps people create steadier connections and healthier interaction habits.

She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review concerns, goals, and preferences and then decide together which methods to emphasize. The plan can be adjusted as progress is made and new needs arise.

This profile does not list specific session formats. Confirm the current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, permit shorter check-ins when that suits someone, and reduce travel time. A remote appointment also lets people meet from wherever they are living, which can simplify continuing care across locations. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and attachment work to remote sessions to teach skills, practice new interaction patterns, and plan steps to change daily routines.
