About Amada
Amada Tro uses a person-centered approach to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She is a licensed mental health counselor and a licensed marriage and family therapist in Florida with 30 years of experience.
Background and approach
She speaks English and Spanish and works with a wide range of concerns including sleep problems, grief, parenting strain, and mood disorders. She focuses on listening closely and helping people identify their strengths.
Sessions aim to make small, practical changes that improve daily functioning. Conversations are straightforward and paced to match each person's comfort and needs.
Amada draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses mindfulness techniques to reduce anxiety and improve emotional regulation.
These approaches are used in ways that fit the person rather than a one-size-fits-all script. Her background includes three decades of clinical work in Florida that spans trauma, relationship difficulties, and complex mood concerns such as bipolar disorder.
That breadth helps when problems cross over into sleep, anger, or attention challenges like ADHD. Amada works with people who want practical tools and steady support.
She encourages gradual progress and respects each person's pace. The first step is often a short questionnaire and a scheduled session to see how the therapeutic fit feels.
Approaches and Online Sessions That Fit Your Life
Amada uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's lead, listening closely and helping people tap their own strengths. This approach helps when someone needs a calm, accepting space to talk through worry, grief, or relationship strain.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, mood challenges, sleep struggles, and many day-to-day problems because it gives concrete steps to try between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing practices that lower stress and improve emotional control. These techniques pair well with CBT to manage racing thoughts and strong emotions.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan over time. That collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet: video calls for fuller conversation, phone sessions when video is not needed, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, work around travel, manage bandwidth limits, or choose shorter check-ins when a full session is not required.
