Amanda Wetz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a combined 19 years in social work and ten years specifically providing clinical services. She holds clinical social work licenses in South Dakota and in Wyoming and practices from South Dakota.
Amanda works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem, addictions, family conflicts, anger management, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, depression, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She has provided individual, group, and family therapy and brings experience supporting both personal and professional concerns.
Her therapeutic approach is supportive and person-centered, guided by recovery-based principles that leave clients in control of their progress. She positions herself as a guide and mentor, partnering with clients to develop a choice-based plan while teaching coping skills and building strengths. Amanda favors brief, time-limited work and often frames therapy as an 8 to 12 session process, with the option to continue supportive therapy afterward.
She emphasizes a strengths-based perspective, identifying existing abilities and building on them to increase confidence and satisfaction in daily life. Amanda also places importance on supporting caregivers of people experiencing mental health challenges or changes in disease processes and helps clients identify and arrange multiple circles of support. She offers encouragement and practical guidance as clients make decisions and changes to move forward.
Many people wonder whether online therapy truly helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person work for most people.
One major advantage is flexibility. Clients can connect in the way that fits their needs and comfort level - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to incorporate therapy into a busy life.
Each therapist is a licensed professional, and clients can change therapists at any time if they want a different fit. Online therapy offers practical options for accessing skilled support while maintaining a professional therapeutic relationship.
