About Mandy
Mandy Knight is an LCSW who focuses on practical help for parents and individuals facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and family concerns. She speaks plainly and helps clients break problems into small, manageable steps. Her approach centers on what matters most to the person in front of her.
She brings 11 years of clinical experience that began after earning a Master of Social Work from the University of Oklahoma. Prior roles include work with at-risk youth in juvenile detention, residential behavioral treatment, child welfare at DHS, and medical social work.
Background and approach
Those experiences inform how she responds to crisis, parenting strain, and complex family situations. Mandy draws on a range of approaches, including cognitive behavioral methods and client-centered work, to help people spot patterns and try workable changes. She also uses narrative and psychodynamic ideas when it helps uncover deeper stories that shape behavior.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and steps to reach them. Parents often seek her help with blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and the everyday stress of raising children. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and relationship or codependency struggles.
Mandy offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different rhythms of family life. She practices in Montana and provides services in English.

How Mandy Uses Approaches Online
Mandy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes to reduce anxiety, panic, or low mood. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, validation, and helping the client set their own goals, which is useful for parenting stress and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mandy will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. She explains options in plain language and checks in about what is working as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues for relationship or parenting work. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, moment-to-moment coaching, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to connect from different routines and schedules.
