About Amanda
Amanda Winn uses a client-centered style to help people feel heard and understood. She is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with six years of experience. Amanda focuses on practical steps people can take to reduce stress and anxiety and manage mood concerns.
She works with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, and relationship strain. Amanda also helps with depression, bipolar issues, ADHD, grief, and parenting-related stress.
How Amanda works
Her approach aims to meet each person where they are and build on existing strengths. Amanda blends cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking with solution-focused work that targets small, achievable changes. She also uses dialectical behavior strategies to teach emotion regulation and motivational interviewing when change feels overwhelming.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented rather than lecturing. In practice she helps people sort priorities, set realistic goals, and try new coping skills between sessions. She pays attention to patterns like impulsivity, compulsions, avoidance, and self-critical thoughts so people can interrupt them with different choices.
Progress is tracked in simple, concrete steps. Amanda values clear communication and a steady pace. She explains tools in everyday language and adapts techniques to fit a person’s daily life.
People who prefer direct strategies and a collaborative plan often find this approach useful.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. It asks open questions and reflects back what is said so the person feels heard and can find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers concrete strategies for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with impulsivity and strong emotional reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on how well things are working. That shared process helps people test what fits their needs and preferences rather than committing to one method from the start.
Online therapy with Amanda uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make sessions more flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and teaching skills, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging helps people track progress or send brief updates between sessions. These options let people fit therapy into work breaks, daily routines, or times when being on camera isn't ideal.
