Amanda Ihle is an Oregon-licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of professional clinical experience. She holds the credential OR LCSW L11965, which indicates she is an Oregon Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
She works with people on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, grief, depression, family issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleeping difficulties, parenting, anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She is a female therapist and is listed as gay, older, non-religious, and liberal.
Earlier in her career she was licensed in Washington State for eight years, providing addiction medicine treatment with Clark County Juvenile Court and offering on-campus treatment to multiple school districts in southwest Washington. For the last eight years she has provided clinical social work in a level one trauma emergency room in Portland.
Her approach emphasizes creating an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. She acknowledges that beginning therapy takes courage and expresses pride in clients who take that first step, recognizing that decision as an important act of strength.
Many people ask whether online therapy can make a real difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes - online therapy is generally comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care for these issues.
A major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect in the way that fits their life and comfort level - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to keep appointments and integrate therapy into a busy schedule.
Licensed professionals deliver services remotely, and if a different fit is desired clients can switch therapists at any time. For many people dealing with everyday mental health and relationship concerns, online therapy offers a practical and effective option to access care.
