About Amanda
Amanda Potts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She has seven years of clinical experience and brings a warm, relaxed approach to sessions. Amanda aims to create a space where people can speak openly and feel respected.
She has worked in settings such as corrections, crisis counseling, and primary care. That background informs how she helps people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, anger, depression, and mood concerns.
How Amanda works
Amanda also supports people facing trauma, grief, parenting strain, identity-based stress, and challenges like ADHD, bipolar conditions, and impulse control issues. Amanda uses straightforward, conversational sessions. She treats therapy as a collaboration and encourages clients to be the expert on their own experiences.
The goal is practical change through small, steady steps rather than long lectures. Her toolbox includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness techniques, Motivational Interviewing, and solution-focused work. These methods are used in ways that fit the person in front of her, not as a rigid checklist.
Clients can expect guidance on coping skills, emotion regulation, and problem-solving tied to daily life. Amanda values strengths people already have and builds on them. She recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and seeks to make the process manageable and respectful.

Online support options
Online approaches that fit your life
Amanda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to help manage strong feelings and impulsive reactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda discusses goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the therapist and client decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan over time based on what is working.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a session fits a break at work. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to use approaches like CBT and DBT in practical, everyday ways.
