01About Amanda
Amanda Reid is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who uses clear, practical therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and parenting strain. She prefers straightforward conversation and hands-on strategies that people can use between sessions. Amanda writes plainly and focuses on small steps that add up to real change.
Amanda has eight years of clinical experience working in outpatient settings. She previously worked as a substance abuse counselor and in a group home and mental health hospital, which gave her experience with trauma, addiction, and mood disorders.
Background and approach
Her background informs how she structures sessions and what tools she offers. Her typical session combines listening with skill-building. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice grounding and coping skills, and set realistic goals.
Motivational interviewing techniques are used to support change when people feel stuck or uncertain about next steps. Amanda also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address patterns that keep problems going. She uses strategies from dialectical behavior work to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.
These approaches are presented in plain language and practiced together during appointments. People come to Amanda for a range of concerns beyond everyday stress, including ADHD, bipolar mood issues, body image struggles, caregiving strain, and divorce or separation. She aims to create a welcoming, empathetic space and to help people build a steady foundation for coping and growth.

04Online support
Approach-driven care delivered online
Amanda frequently uses client-centered work that focuses on each person's goals and values. This approach involves open listening and tailoring sessions around what matters most to the client, which helps people feel heard and understood.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT provides practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills when emotions feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and day-to-day life. She checks in regularly and adjusts strategies as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are good for longer, face-to-face conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick skill reminders, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between appointments.
