About Amanda
Amanda Mills is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, and life changes. She speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel approachable for someone worried and short on time. Amanda uses straightforward, skills-based work to help people cope with day-to-day pressure and stronger mood shifts.
She often helps clients notice patterns that increase anxiety and then practices small changes to reduce that strain.
Background and approach
Conversations are practical and paced to match each person's needs. Her background includes work in inpatient care, intensive outpatient programs, outpatient groups, and independent practice. Those settings gave her experience with depression, substance use concerns, grief, relationship struggles, and mood disorders.
Amanda earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health from John Carroll University and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Taylor University. She draws on several approaches to tailor sessions, including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work, client-centered methods, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy.
Amanda aims to blend these tools into a plan that fits each person's values and goals. Sessions move at a practical pace, focusing on what helps between meetings. Amanda encourages people to bring specific problems, questions, or goals so they can work toward clearer steps and better coping.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Amanda uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on small experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take actions that matter despite uncomfortable feelings. That approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they check what helps and adjust as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make counseling more flexible. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation; phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and messaging work well for short updates, coaching-style support, or when writing out thoughts feels clearer. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
