About Amanda

Dr. Amanda Veldorale-Griffin offers a warm, straightforward approach for people looking for practical help. She makes starting therapy less intimidating by focusing on clear goals and real-life solutions.

Amanda listens first, then helps clients map small, manageable steps forward. She trained in family relations and marriage and family therapy and holds a PhD and a master’s degree; she uses that background to pay attention to relationship patterns and everyday stresses.

Background and approach

Her work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotions and bonds, and on client-centered and solution-focused ideas to keep sessions grounded and useful. Amanda helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and issues with self-esteem and anger. She also supports those working through identity and sexuality concerns, parenting strain, attachment questions, and communication problems.

Her practice notes attention to eating concerns, bipolar mood challenges, and intimacy-related issues. Sessions emphasize collaboration: the client’s knowledge of their life guides the plan, and Amanda offers tools to try between meetings. She uses practical exercises, focused conversations, and steps clients can test in day-to-day life.

With 17 years of experience as an LMFT, Amanda brings a steady, thoughtful presence to sessions. She works with people in Oregon and offers appointments in formats that fit busy lives. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to begin scheduling.

Online support

How Amanda’s approaches work online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and the ways they shape close connections. Online EFT sessions help people identify and name feelings, notice how those feelings affect relationships, and practice new ways of responding during regular life situations.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the client’s experience and priorities. In this approach the therapist listens deeply, reflects what is said, and follows the client’s pace so goals emerge from the person’s own concerns and strengths.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Amanda will work collaboratively to match methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide whether to emphasize emotion work, practical problem solving, or another focus during online sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and reading nonverbal cues, while phone sessions can fit into a quick break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow short check-ins, brief problem-solving, or ongoing reflection between longer appointments. These options are intended to make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to try strategies in everyday life.
