About Amada
Amada Tro uses a client-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strains, and trauma. She is a licensed mental health counselor and a licensed marriage and family therapist in Florida with 30 years of experience. Amada speaks English and Spanish and aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and respectful.
She starts by listening closely to each person's story and strengths. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual, and goals are set together.
Background and approach
Practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy are used to address patterns of thinking and behavior that fuel anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, or mood swings. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help people notice stress and respond differently in the moment. Amada adapts pacing and exercises so they fit everyday life and current energy levels.
This often includes short breathing or awareness practices that can be used between sessions. Her experience includes work with trauma and abuse, grief, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and a range of mood and anxiety concerns. She also supports people facing issues such as isolation, obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, and the effects of divorce or separation.
Therapy is available in English and Spanish and can be scheduled through the platform. Amada encourages people to take the next step when they feel ready and helps them find a plan that fits their needs and routine.
Online care using client-centered, CBT, and mindfulness approaches
Amada uses client-centered therapy to start by hearing each person's story and building therapy around their strengths and goals. This approach helps shape sessions so they feel relevant and manageable for everyday life.Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to teach clear steps for change. CBT techniques are practical for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and mood symptoms because they focus on actions and small experiments between sessions.
Mindfulness therapy offers short practices that teach people how to notice stress and respond differently in the moment. These exercises can be done during brief pauses in a day and often help reduce reactivity and improve focus.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and daily routines rather than imposing a single method.
Online therapy with Amada can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing support between appointments. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into work, home, or travel schedules.
