About Amanda
Amanda Brumfield is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 22 years of experience in Ohio. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her work is practical and straightforward, aimed at easing daily strain and improving sleep, mood, and functioning.
Her sessions are grounded in respect and empathy. She uses a client-centered stance that listens first, then helps shape goals together.
How Amanda works
Amanda combines practical tools from cognitive behavioral techniques and skills from dialectical behavior strategies to address mood swings, impulsive reactions, and relationship struggles. She also uses EMDR and mindfulness-based practices when memories or overwhelming feelings get in the way of moving forward. Those tools can help people reduce the emotional charge of traumatic memories and build calmer day-to-day habits.
Amanda pays attention to patterns that feed codependency, avoidance, shame, and isolation so people can reclaim a clearer sense of purpose. Over two decades she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including addiction, grief, parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, and challenges related to ADHD and personality difficulties. Her style is steady and collaborative, mixing skill-building with supportive listening.
To begin, Amanda asks about current struggles and goals, then recommends a path that fits each person's life. She aims to help people develop coping strategies, rebuild routines, and find small, sustainable changes that make daily life more manageable.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Amanda often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions typically involve identifying patterns, testing new behaviors, and practicing small changes that improve mood and daily functioning.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-style work can help when strong emotions lead to impulsive actions or relationship conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will review your goals and preferences, explain options, and adapt methods based on what helps you make progress. That collaborative process guides whether sessions emphasize skills practice, processing difficult memories, or building everyday routines.
Online therapy gives flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skills demonstration. Phone calls fit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging can work for mood tracking, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue progress even when life gets complicated.
