Amannda Walworth

Amannda Walworth is a licensed clinical social worker who works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and major life changes. She focuses on helping clients reconnect with themselves and others after painful losses or difficult experiences. Her style is warm and steady, aimed at making space for difficult feelings and everyday concerns.

Amannda draws on a psychodynamic perspective and a Certificate in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy from the Metropolitan Institute for Training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. She describes her work as individualized, attuned to sensory and emotional states, and supportive of reflection. Sessions tend to focus on understanding patterns that get in the way of relationships and day-to-day functioning.

She has over a decade of practice in outpatient mental health settings and brings 11 years of clinical experience as an LCSW in New York. She also has significant experience supporting people with intellectual disability and autism, and she understands the practical and emotional strains those situations can create for individuals and family systems.

In sessions Amannda helps people process grief, reduce anxiety, and work through family of origin issues, communication problems, guilt, and shame. She also addresses workplace stress, money worries, and other life pressures that affect daily functioning.

Her training includes a Master of Social Work from City University of New York, Lehman College, and a Bachelor of Arts from the State University of New York at Buffalo. She aims to help people recognize their strengths while navigating barriers to connection and wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Amannda uses psychodynamic psychotherapy to help people notice long-standing patterns in relationships and behavior. This approach looks at how past experiences shape present feelings and habits, and it can help with anxiety, grief, and relationship strain.

She also brings psychoanalytic-informed work learned through a Certificate in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, which focuses on exploring emotional histories and how early experiences affect current life. That work can be useful for processing trauma, family of origin issues, and deep-seated guilt or shame.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose techniques and goals that fit their needs and preferences, revisiting the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Many people find virtual sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy day, reducing travel time, and maintaining continuity of care when schedules change. Others prefer shorter check-ins by phone when bandwidth or time is limited. Discussing practical needs during the matching process helps determine which arrangement will work best for you and your goals.
