Amanda Loessberg

Amanda Loessberg is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Wyoming who brings 22 years of clinical experience to her work with individuals, families, couples, and groups. She offers therapy by phone, video, and live chat, monitors platform messages, and typically responds within 24 hours. Amanda uses EMDR as one of her evidence-based approaches for trauma, and she adapts her style to meet each client’s needs using tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused work, DBT principles, and attentive, compassionate listening.

When asked which population she enjoys working with most, Amanda simply answered “EVERY population,” reflecting a long career spent with people across the lifespan. Since beginning counseling in 2002, she has worked in residential programs serving females with eating disorders, provided seven years of crisis and suicide prevention services, designed behavior plans for children and teens, and delivered crisis support for survivors of sexual assault and other violent crimes. Her experience includes group and individual therapy, couples work, cognitive testing, and direct care from toddlers through older adulthood.

Amanda spent nine years supporting active duty service members and veterans and has more than three years of experience in an acute psychiatric hospital. She has worked with a wide range of clinical presentations including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, PTSD, and psychotic or delusional disorders. While Amanda recognizes the importance of diagnosis, she focuses primarily on treating symptoms and improving overall wellbeing.

She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Michigan (1999) and a Master of Clinical Social Work from the University of South Dakota (2018). Amanda is licensed to practice clinical social work in both Wyoming and Washington, and she draws on that training and two decades of practice when supporting clients through stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, LGBT issues, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, sleep difficulties, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, ADHD, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.

Amanda is a lifelong traveler who grew up in mid-Michigan, lived in San Francisco in her early twenties, spent years in Phoenix and on Florida’s Gulf Coast, and has made Wyoming her home for over a decade. She is newly remarried and a parent to two children, ages 14 and 15, both diagnosed with autism. Their household also includes rescue pets: a dog named Grizzy Bear, an English Mastiff called Zeus, and an elderly shelter cat named Barry Catalow.

Clients can expect a warm, nonjudgmental partner in therapy and a safe space to explore challenges. Amanda asks that clients provide 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling when possible, as that allows time to offer the appointment to another client. She looks forward to supporting people on their path toward greater wellbeing.
