About Amanda

Amanda Mills is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who helps people facing anger, stress, and relationship struggles. She works with adults to address anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, grief, and life changes. Amanda communicates plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day.

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 has eight years of experience working in inpatient care, intensive outpatient programs, outpatient groups, and independent practice.

Background and approach

Those settings shaped a straightforward approach to problem solving. In sessions she combines evidence-informed tools that people can try between meetings. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help spot and change thinking patterns.

She also uses acceptance-based methods to help people notice difficult emotions without getting overwhelmed. Amanda pays attention to relationship patterns and attachment needs when they show up in therapy. That helps people improve communication and rebuild trust with partners or close others.

She also supports those working through family of origin issues, caregiver stress, and the emotional impact of adoption and foster care. She offers phone, video, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Amanda describes starting work together as a team effort: you set goals, and she helps you build concrete skills to move toward them.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Amanda uses cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based work that fit well for remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world exercises. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and anger by teaching concrete strategies to change thinking and behavior.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice difficult feelings and choose actions that match their values. ACT often includes short exercises and mindfulness practices that are easy to do between online meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. From there she recommends techniques and adjusts them over time so the plan fits the person’s life and needs.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good option for a quieter check-in. Live chat or text messaging can support short updates, coaching-style feedback, or ongoing skill practice between sessions.
