About Amanda
Dr. Amanda Baker is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, and sexual concerns. She comes across as steady and straightforward, aiming to help clients feel more in control and make meaningful changes.
Dr. Baker works with individuals on issues like infidelity, addiction, parenting strain, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports people exploring intimate concerns and nontraditional relationship styles.
Her style is client-centered and collaborative.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and practical steps to get there. She mixes approaches such as Attachment-based therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to match each person’s needs. That means she may combine talking about patterns of connection with exercises to shift unhelpful thoughts and actions.
Dr. Baker draws on ten years of clinical experience in New York and uses that background to tailor care to real-life situations. She pays attention to how past relationships affect present choices and helps clients build healthier habits and boundaries.
Expect conversational sessions that name patterns and try concrete alternatives. She also addresses topics like body image, codependency, blended family challenges, and compassion fatigue. For people navigating kink, BDSM, or alternative sexual cultures, she provides a nonjudgmental space to talk about safety, consent, and intimacy.
Her goal is to help people feel clearer about their values and next steps. Dr. Baker holds a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential, LMFT, and offers therapy in English in New York.

Online support
How these approaches work online
Attachment-based therapy looks at how patterns from early relationships shape current connections and trust. Online sessions can help identify those patterns and practice different ways of relating in real time. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values; online work often focuses on short experiential exercises and values-based planning. Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, offering a calm, accepting space where clients lead the topics and pace of work.Finding the right mix of methods is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with supportive listening, adding ACT skills for handling emotions, and using attachment ideas to shift relationship patterns as progress is made.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face-to-face when that matters. Phone sessions can be a good choice when video would create technical or bandwidth challenges. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing coaching possible between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to try different formats as needs change.
