About Amanda
Amanda Lee is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She draws on her background in law enforcement to shape a practical, problem-solving approach to mental health. Amanda focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, and life transitions.
She also supports people facing grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and identity-related concerns. Amanda uses straightforward, skills-based work in sessions. She blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior strategies.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in to help people notice thoughts, manage strong feelings, and set realistic goals. Sessions aim to identify what’s getting in the way and build small, doable changes. Amanda often teaches breathing and grounding tools, thought-challenging skills, and step-by-step plans for cravings or anger.
She explains each tool so people can practice between meetings. Her experience includes work in mental health and addictions settings since 2015, and that history shapes how she sees barriers to treatment. Amanda describes therapy as a collaborative effort where the person’s goals guide the pace and focus.
People who choose Amanda typically want clear strategies and a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She practices in Georgia as a licensed professional counselor.

How Amanda’s approaches fit into online therapy
Amanda often uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try out new behaviors. CBT is practical and goal oriented, which suits issues like anxiety, depression, anger, and addictive behaviors.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can be useful when strong emotions or relationship conflicts get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will listen to your goals and try techniques that match your needs, adjusting methods as you learn what helps. She frames the process as collaborative and paced to each person.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls let you have a near face-to-face conversation and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions work well when a lower bandwidth option is needed or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging let you check in between sessions, use brief coaching, or follow up on exercises in short written notes. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into work, caregiving, or other commitments.
