About Amanda
Amanda Perkins is a Florida LMHC with 10 years of experience working with adults. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, grief, parenting challenges, and blended family issues.
Amanda uses straightforward, practical methods so clients can start seeing small changes. She mixes approaches such as acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavior strategies, attachment-based thinking, and skills from dialectical behavior work. Sessions focus on what is causing trouble now and what can be tried next.
People often bring worries about loyalty conflicts, merging routines, co-parenting with an ex, or the strain of becoming a stepparent. Amanda talks through those problems and helps clients set realistic next steps. She also addresses related concerns like self-esteem, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Her style centers on listening and offering clear tools rather than abstract theory. This may include exercises to notice difficult thoughts, short behavioral experiments to test new routines, and communication practices to try between sessions. Progress is measured in small, practical shifts rather than labels.
Amanda practices in Florida and conducts work in English. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and then a first session is scheduled to establish priorities and immediate goals.
How her approaches translate to online work
Amanda draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based action rather than getting stuck in avoidance. Attachment-based ideas look at patterns in close relationships and help clients recognize how past bonds shape current reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a client's needs, goals, and preferences and adjust as those needs change over time. The plan is shaped together rather than chosen in advance.
Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or letting someone join without being on camera when that helps. Licensed professionals can use these adjustments to focus on practical exercises, communication practice, and behavioral experiments that transfer into day-to-day life.
