About Amanda
Amanda Wilson helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, anger, and addiction. She is an LPC with 21 years of experience and works with clients on depression, bipolar concerns, parenting strain, and career stress. Amanda also supports people facing trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Amanda keeps sessions straightforward and focused. She creates a calm space where people can talk through painful feelings and confusing choices.
How Amanda works
She invites clear goals and practical steps so progress is visible over time. Her work includes attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family challenges, and issues that come with adoption or foster care. She also helps individuals manage caregiver stress, cancer-related worries, and aging or geriatric questions.
Other areas of focus include codependency, communication problems, and recovery from domestic violence or substance use concerns. Amanda uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, when trauma memories are part of the problem. She adapts her approach to each person’s needs and comfort level.
Sessions can include talking, skills practice, and guided techniques aimed at reducing distress. She offers sessions remotely and has completed professional training in TeleMental Health counseling. Amanda aims to make the first steps toward change less daunting and to help people build clearer coping tools and more steady routines.

Online support options
EMDR and remote therapy options
EMDR is a trauma-focused method that uses guided eye movements or similar techniques while a person focuses on a distressing memory. It can reduce the intensity of disturbing memories and the emotional reaction they trigger. This approach is often used when past events continue to cause strong emotional or physical reactions.In remote work Amanda blends EMDR with practical, goal-focused conversation and skills practice. She helps people identify what feels most urgent and chooses techniques to match those goals. The therapist and client collaborate to find the best mix of approaches based on needs, comfort, and progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and guided exercises, phone sessions fit low-bandwidth or a shorter check-in, live chat lets someone type out thoughts in the moment, and text messaging is handy for brief updates or scheduling. These options aim to make getting help more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
