About Amada
Amada Tro is a licensed counselor and marriage and family therapist in Florida with 30 years of experience. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to reduce stress, ease anxiety, and improve sleep. She speaks English and Spanish and encourages parents to seek support when parenting feels overwhelming.
She centers sessions on the person in front of her, treating each individual as the expert on their life.
Background and approach
That means listening first, then working together to set clear goals. She combines client-centered work with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help shift unhelpful thoughts and routines. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to calm the body and bring attention back to the present moment.
These exercises are taught simply so they can be used at home during stressful moments or before bed to support better sleep. Practical skill practice is part of sessions so skills carry over into daily life. Over three decades she has supported people through grief, trauma, mood disorders, and parenting strain.
She also helps with anger, attention challenges, and the effects of caregiving or compassion fatigue. Her approach aims to make change feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Sessions are conversational and collaborative.
She helps clients break problems into small steps and build on existing strengths. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier mood, and more confidence in handling life’s demands.

How her approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and following the client’s lead. In online sessions that looks like starting where you are, naming your priorities, and shaping sessions around what matters to you right now.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical tools to change thought patterns and behaviors. Online CBT sessions include identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing new habits between sessions to reduce anxiety, depression, or sleep problems.
Mindfulness therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These short exercises can be coached in a live call or practiced via text prompts and follow-up between meetings.
She approaches the choice of method as a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful. That collaborative process helps find the best fit for a client’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy makes it easier to keep continuity and fit care into busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, written skill prompts, or when someone prefers typing over speaking. These options support flexibility and steady progress without requiring travel.
