About Amanda

Amanda Lee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and anger, among other concerns. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy challenges and life changes that feel overwhelming.

Before becoming a counselor she served as a law enforcement officer. That experience shaped her view that many people need treatment and rehabilitation rather than punishment. Since 2015 she has worked in mental health and addiction settings and brings that practical background into sessions.

Amanda uses a mix of straightforward approaches. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage intense feelings and reactions. Mindfulness and motivational techniques are part of how she helps people try different ways of coping.

Sessions focus on current issues the client brings and on concrete skills to handle day-to-day problems. People learn tools to notice triggers, slow down reactions, and change patterns that cause recurring conflict or stress. She also addresses related concerns such as ADHD, trauma, and substance use when they affect mood and behavior.

Amanda identifies as an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community and describes her practice as nonjudgmental. Sessions are offered in English and she works from Georgia. To begin, clients follow the site's matching process and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work

Amanda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as practical tools in sessions. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking to reduce anger and anxiety. DBT offers concrete skills for tolerating distress, regulating emotions, and improving communication when feelings run high.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Amanda will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that match the client's needs, and adjust the plan based on what works in real life. That might mean practicing DBT skills between sessions or using short CBT exercises focused on specific triggers.

The site lists how to start but does not specify session formats here. Please confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what fits your schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. These practical benefits help people use therapy consistently while they work on anger, coping skills, and related concerns.
