About Amanda
Amanda Gragg is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief, sleep problems, anger, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and geared toward practical, day-to-day coping.
Her approach focuses on clear, evidence-based techniques that make sense in ordinary life. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns. Mindfulness practices are offered to help calm intense feelings and reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want change but feel stuck.
Amanda tends to keep sessions straightforward. She helps people break big problems into manageable steps. That can mean practicing a new way to respond when anger rises or building short routines to sleep better. The work often includes concrete homework and brief skill practice between meetings.
She also pays attention to how relationships and communication affect emotional health. That can include working on control issues, improving communication, or handling caregiver stress. For people with substance use or eating concerns, motivation-focused conversations are part of the process.
Amanda asks clients to set clear goals at the start, then revisits them regularly. Her 15 years of experience include helping people reduce symptoms and learn tools for everyday situations. To start, readers should confirm session options before booking and follow the site's booking steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Amanda commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in session. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete steps to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and help people notice urges before they act. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who are uncertain about change. That approach focuses on examining personal goals and strengthening reasons to try new behaviors. The therapist and client decide together which methods to use based on goals, preferences, and how problems show up in daily life. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine. Confirm the platform and session formats before booking, since formats are set through the booking process. Many people find remote meetings helpful because they cut out travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let skill practice move straight into real life between sessions. Amanda will work collaboratively to pick approaches and a pace that fit each persons schedule and goals.Areas of focus
