About Amanda
Amanda Lee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and grief. Amanda also supports concerns such as ADHD, relationship and family issues, intimacy and self-esteem struggles, and questions around career and compassion fatigue.
She began her path after time in law enforcement, where she noticed many people with mental health and addiction needs were steered toward the justice system instead of treatment. That led her into counseling work, and she has been practicing in mental health and addictions since 2015.
Her approach is practical and collaborative. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on skills that help cope with strong emotions and difficult situations. She uses methods from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to guide conversations and practice.
Amanda identifies as an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community and states she does not judge clients for their life or identity. She says she bases sessions on the current issues a person brings and works together with them to find helpful strategies.
If someone is considering starting, the pathway is to use the directory options to match and schedule. Amanda notes that not all calendar openings appear online, so clients should discuss dates and times directly when arranging a first session.
How Amanda uses therapeutic approaches in online work
Amanda commonly draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and clarify goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns.She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and mindfulness for grounding. DBT-style tools teach skills to manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive reactions. Mindfulness practices help with present-moment focus and reducing rumination that can fuel anxiety or depression.
Picking the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will collaborate with each person to try methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences and adjust those methods over time based on what is helpful.
