About Amanda
Amanda Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She works with common concerns like panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and feelings of isolation. Amanda uses creative, movement-informed methods alongside talk therapy to help people feel understood and begin to heal.
Her sessions often combine talking with attention to the ways the body holds emotion.
How Amanda works
This can include gentle movement and attention to physical sensations as a way to notice and shift stuck patterns. She aims to help clients feel heard and to build practical tools for coping with day-to-day stress and panic. Amanda also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, guilt and shame, and the stresses of being a young adult.
She is attentive to multicultural concerns and the effects of prejudice and discrimination on wellbeing. She works with people who identify on the autism spectrum and those experiencing somatic symptoms linked to emotional distress. With three years of clinical experience, Amanda blends creative approaches and standard counseling methods to match each person’s needs.
She explains options clearly and helps people decide what feels most helpful. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded, with step-by-step plans for coping and recovery. She practices in Arkansas and offers sessions that mix movement, conversation, and skills-building.
Amanda invites people who are ready to explore change to start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

How movement-informed approaches translate to online therapy
Amanda draws on body-aware work that links physical sensations to emotional experience. This approach notices how the body holds stress and uses simple, gentle movement or attention to bodily signals to help people reduce tension and process difficult memories. It can be useful for anxiety, panic, and trauma-related symptoms.She also integrates conversational counseling techniques that focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and managing mood. Those methods break problems into small, manageable steps and teach practical tools for daily life. Together these two ways of working aim to reduce symptoms and improve functioning over time.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Amanda will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She explains options clearly and adapts techniques so the person can try them and give feedback during treatment.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is helpful when visual cues or guided movement are useful, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging formats suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or a busy home life.
