Professional statement

Amanda Brown, LMSW, works with adults, college students, and teens who are navigating a wide range of life challenges including anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. She has a particular passion for supporting those connected to the military community, including service members and their families, and understands the unique pressures and complexities that come with that experience. Amanda’s clients often describe her as warm, easy to talk to, and goal-focused — someone who helps them feel safe while also gently challenging them to grow.

Amanda’s therapy style is grounded in person-centered care, which means she tailors each session to the unique needs and strengths of the individual. She incorporates mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and solution-focused strategies to help clients build insight, develop emotional regulation skills, and move toward meaningful change. Her sessions are collaborative and impact-oriented, with a focus on helping clients feel heard, empowered, and equipped to create real momentum in their healing process.

With several years of experience in both clinical and academic mental health settings, Amanda brings a strong foundation of knowledge and a calm, grounded presence to her work. She is committed to helping her clients understand themselves more deeply, navigate life’s stressors with clarity, and build a stronger sense of confidence and resilience. Her therapeutic space is one where individuals are encouraged to reflect, process, and evolve — always with compassion and support.

Amanda is currently accepting new clients for remote therapy throughout Maryland. She offers secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth sessions and is available for weekday appointments. If you're looking for a therapist who will listen with empathy, collaborate on your goals, and support your growth every step of the way, Amanda would be honored to work with you. Reach out today to get started.


Message to clients

Starting therapy is a brave step, and I want you to know that you don’t have to have everything figured out before we begin. In our work together, my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported — a space where you can speak freely, without judgment, and begin to explore the thoughts and emotions that may be holding you back.

Therapy with me is a collaborative process. I’ll walk alongside you as we uncover patterns, develop new tools, and build a roadmap toward healing and growth. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, or just feeling stuck, we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you. You deserve to feel better — and I’m here to help you get there.
