Amanda Perkins, LMHC

Amanda Perkins is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, relationship strain, grief, self-esteem problems, and parenting concerns. Amanda also supports people managing mood disorders, ADHD, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.

Her sessions are straightforward and practical. She helps people name patterns that keep them stuck and build steps to act differently. Conversations focus on what is happening now, what matters most to the client, and small changes that can make day-to-day life easier.

Amanda uses several therapy methods to match the person and the problem. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take committed action. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. Attachment-based ideas inform work on relationship patterns and intimacy issues.

Clients can expect direct discussion of real-life stressors such as workplace frustration, caregiving strain, blended family dynamics, and loss. Amanda also addresses more complex combinations of problems like chronic illness with depression, adoption and attachment questions, and body image concerns.

Her practice aims for practical tools and clearer choices rather than long abstract talk. For people worn down by resentment, snapping during stress, or overwhelming anger, Amanda focuses on what to try between sessions and how to notice small shifts.
