01About Amanda
Amanda Potts is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Pennsylvania. She brings seven years of clinical experience and aims to make therapy approachable for people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, sleep problems, anger, depression, ADHD, grief, trauma, or relationship and parenting strain. Amanda takes a relaxed and warm style in sessions.
She uses a conversational, collaborative tone so people can talk openly and feel heard. She treats each person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in corrections, crisis counseling, and primary care settings. She also has three years of experience with justice system involved youth, which shaped her understanding of complex stress and behavioral concerns. In sessions she blends practical tools with skill-building.
That might include learning ways to manage intense emotions, adjusting unhelpful thinking, or trying mindfulness exercises to ease tension and improve sleep. She also supports people dealing with prejudice, compassion fatigue, smoking or vaping cessation, and mood-related conditions. Amanda aims to keep things straightforward and goal-focused.
She collaborates on concrete steps people can try between sessions and adjusts plans as needs change. Her approach is steady and respectful, intended to help people make small, manageable changes that add up over time.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Amanda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in practical, down-to-earth ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, panic, and depressive symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and impulsivity.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people slow down, notice bodily sensations, and reduce stress. These are short exercises and simple grounding practices that can be used between sessions. Amanda approaches treatment collaboratively and will work with each person to find the best mix of strategies based on goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
Online therapy offers flexibility for those balancing work, caregiving, or busy schedules. Video calls provide face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation and skills coaching. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates, try brief coping skills, and stay connected between sessions. These options make it easier to fit consistent work on goals into everyday life.
