About Amanda
Amanda Hollis helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, or struggles with self-worth. She is a licensed independent clinical social worker, LICSW, with ten years of experience. Her approach is straightforward and calm, aimed at making things feel more manageable day to day.
Amanda focuses on practical steps people can use when emotions run high or relationships become tense. She often helps individuals sort through communication problems, attachment concerns, and issues that follow divorce or separation.
How Amanda works
Addictions and mood disorders are also areas she addresses in sessions. She brings a respectful stance to differences in identity and belief, and she pays particular attention to how faith perspectives and LGBTQ+ experiences shape a person’s story. Clients work at a pace that fits them, learning coping skills and noticing patterns that get in the way of feeling better.
Sessions mix short-term problem solving with longer-term change work. Amanda helps people identify impulses, reduce reactive anger, and build steadier self-esteem. The goal is clearer thinking and healthier choices that fit each person’s life.
Based in Alabama, she offers therapy that centers on collaboration and practical tools. People leave sessions with things to try between appointments and a clearer plan for moving forward.

Therapeutic techniques and online options
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building skills. One approach helps people spot and change thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and low mood active, using practical exercises for daily life. Another approach centers on attachment and relationship patterns, helping people see how early connections affect current communication and closeness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on how well an approach fits the client's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process meant to find what actually helps in everyday situations.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief updates, homework support, and steady contact between scheduled sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent and practical.
