Caring Therapists CEO Presents at 2026 FMHCA Annual Conference
At this year’s FMHCA Annual Conference, Amanda delivered a powerful keynote presentation titled, “Enhancing Connection, Empathy, and Presence in Counseling.” Her session offered practical, real-world strategies designed to help clinicians strengthen both public and private practice while staying grounded in authentic, client-centered care.
Amanda’s presentation explored how technology continues to shape client care and service delivery—from telehealth platforms to digital communication tools—and addressed a critical question facing today’s providers: How do we maintain meaningful human connection in an increasingly digital world?
Through actionable insights and relatable clinical examples, Amanda emphasized the importance of presence, empathy, and intentional communication. She encouraged fellow clinicians to thoughtfully integrate technology while preserving the therapeutic relationship at the heart of effective counseling.
