Amada Tro

Amada Tro is a licensed mental health counselor and licensed marriage and family therapist in Florida with 30 years of experience. She centers sessions on what each person brings, and she treats people with respect as experts in their own lives. Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, anger, and sleep problems in straightforward, practical ways.

She uses approaches that help people name patterns and try new ways of responding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then tests small changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on a person’s strengths to help them move forward.

Many people come to her for relationship and parenting concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, or mood disorders like depression and bipolar. She also supports people with ADHD, obsessive-compulsive struggles, panic attacks, and social anxiety. Additional areas include aging and geriatric issues, intellectual disability, and recovery from sexual assault and domestic violence.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients. Her style is direct but warm, and she encourages practical steps that fit daily life. She recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and helps people take manageable first steps.

To begin, clients complete a short intake and plan next steps together. The focus is on clear goals and small, achievable changes rather than long lists of technical terms.

How therapeutic approaches adapt to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a listening space and building on a person’s strengths. In practice this means the therapist reflects what matters to the client and helps set goals that feel doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; it uses clear exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and day-to-day routines, and then suggest which methods to try first. That plan can shift over time based on what helps most, and the process is collaborative rather than prescriptive.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as avoiding travel time or fitting a session into a lunch break. Different session styles suit different needs, so confirm the session options before booking. The emphasis is on making therapy practical and usable, so tools and exercises are chosen to work in the client’s real-world context.
