About Amanda

Amanda Mills is an Ohio LPCC with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on common concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, substance use, and anger. Amanda speaks English and draws on several therapy approaches to help people cope and make changes.

She trained at John Carroll University for a master’s in Clinical Mental Health and completed undergraduate work in psychology at Taylor University. Her background includes inpatient care, intensive outpatient programs, outpatient group work, and private practice. That mix informs how she plans sessions and sets goals with clients.

In sessions she uses practical, skills-based work alongside conversations about what matters to the client. Expect goal-setting, behavior-focused exercises, and attention to how thoughts and feelings influence choices. She also brings relational perspectives when working on communication and intimacy concerns.

Amanda has experience with mood disorders, addictions, and trauma-related problems and often helps people handle life transitions and caregiver stress. She also supports people working through family of origin issues, codependency, and commitment or control struggles.

Her approach balances clear strategies and space to talk. Clients who want concrete tools for managing anger, improving communication, or reducing anxiety may find this helpful. To start, she asks about current patterns, what the client wants to change, and small steps to try between sessions.

How sessions work

How her evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Amanda commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, committed steps toward them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. CBT targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical exercises and homework to change how someone responds to stress and anger.

She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas when relationship problems or intimacy issues come up. That perspective looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions and communication, which can be useful for resolving resentment or recurring conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda discusses options with each person and collaborates on goals and strategies. Together they decide what methods to try first and adjust those plans as progress or obstacles appear.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as format details are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people keep consistent appointments while working on anger, communication, and stress management.
