About Amanda
Amanda Lee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of work in mental health and addictions. She moved from law enforcement into counseling after seeing people who needed help rather than punishment. Amanda focuses on practical steps that help people feel safer, more capable, and more hopeful in daily life.
Amanda works with common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addictions. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, relationship and communication problems, parenting strain, and concerns around identity, including LGBT issues. ADHD, bipolar conditions, and compassion fatigue are among other areas she addresses.
Her approach blends client-centered care with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Amanda uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help clients clarify goals and build small routines that make a difference. Sessions emphasize clear strategies and gentle reflection rather than jargon.
She began her counseling career after service in law enforcement exposed gaps in how mental health and substance issues were handled. Since 2015 she has worked in settings that include addiction and community mental health, helping people move from crisis toward stability.
People who work with Amanda can expect a collaborative process. She asks about what matters most, then helps choose methods that fit daily life. Amanda describes her space as nonjudgmental and affirming for LGBT clients, and she focuses on practical progress over time.
How Amanda's Approaches Work for Online Therapy
Amanda uses client-centered therapy to focus sessions on each person's priorities. That approach means the therapist listens first, follows the client's lead, and matches tools to what matters most in their life.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks concerns into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT helps people spot unhelpful patterns and try small changes that improve mood and daily functioning. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when emotions run high.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Amanda treats this as a collaborative process - she checks in about what is helping, adjusts techniques, and sets achievable goals with each person. Clients help choose what to try based on their needs and day-to-day routine.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping momentum between appointments. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to maintain steady progress, schedule brief check-ins, and use homework tools such as worksheets and mindfulness practices between sessions.
