About Amanda
Amanda Grace Hallock is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on anxiety, stress, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. Amanda aims to meet people where they are and build a plan that fits each person's life and needs.
She uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage panic attacks, social anxiety, and ongoing worry. Sessions often center on clear steps you can try between meetings, like coping skills for overwhelming moments and small behavior changes that build momentum.
Background and approach
Amanda also supports people working through addiction and its effects on daily life. Conversations address triggers, motivation, and routines that make sobriety and stability more achievable. She approaches these topics without judgment and with a focus on realistic goals.
When trauma or abuse is part of someone's story, she focuses on stabilizing symptoms and reclaiming a sense of safety in everyday routines. That work moves at a pace the person is comfortable with and includes techniques to reduce flashbacks, panic, and sleeplessness. Amanda emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work.
She invites people to take small steps toward change and tailors conversations and plans to each person's priorities. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel more capable in their daily lives.
How Amanda Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online
Amanda works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and behavior change. One common approach she uses teaches grounding and breathing strategies to reduce panic and acute anxiety. These techniques help lower arousal in the moment and make it easier to think through the next step.She also uses methods aimed at changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. This kind of work helps people notice worry or negative self-talk, test those thoughts, and gradually try different actions that lead to better results. It is useful for social anxiety, low mood, and addressing rumination.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then tailor methods that fit. That collaboration helps decide whether to focus on skills training, behavioral experiments, or stabilizing work for trauma-related symptoms.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is useful for full conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when video bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let people check in more frequently and record thoughts in writing between meetings. These options aim to make consistent progress easier to schedule and maintain.
