About Amada

Amada Tro is a licensed clinician in Florida who uses a client-centered approach to guide people through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma, and sleep problems. She holds the credential of Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, and is also a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT. Her clear, steady style focuses on listening and following each person's pace.

She treats each person as the expert in their own story and helps them name strengths they already have. Sessions typically focus on practical steps and small changes people can try between meetings. Amada combines talk-based work with strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices.

With three decades of experience, Amada has worked with a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, grief, parenting stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing issues such as abandonment, aging concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, intellectual disability, and recovery from sexual assault and domestic violence.

Amada offers services in both English and Spanish and is available to work with clients who are located outside the United States. Her background includes long-term clinical practice in Florida and many years helping people find manageable ways to feel steadier day to day.

Signing up begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. She encourages people to take that first step and will collaborate on setting goals and choosing methods that fit each person's needs.

Step 3

Approaches and how they fit into online therapy

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the person’s lead, building on existing strengths to set meaningful goals and decide what to try next. It helps when someone needs a steady, respectful space to make sense of what’s happening in their life.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical steps such as spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep issues, and patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These practices can support people managing stress, trauma responses, and sleep difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That decision is shared and can change over time as needs shift.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make appointments easier to fit into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also support ongoing practice of skills learned in sessions so people can apply them between meetings.
