About Amanda
Amanda Winn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with six years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and anger. She frames clients as the experts in their own stories and looks to build on existing strengths.
Amanda uses straightforward talk and practical skills in sessions. She listens to how problems show up day to day, then helps people try new ways of responding. That can mean learning short coping skills for intense moments or practicing different ways to bring up hard topics with others.
Her background includes work with addiction and trauma-related concerns, and she also supports people navigating mood disorders, grief, and parenting challenges. Amanda uses methods that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, building emotion regulation, and clarifying goals for the present and near future.
Sessions tend to focus on what the person can use right away. Amanda mixes problem-solving, motivational techniques, and skills training depending on what the client needs. She aims for clear, manageable steps rather than long, abstract plans.
People who want help with mounting frustration, snapping at loved ones, workplace anger, or the shame that follows outbursts may find this practical style helpful. Amanda asks about daily routines and recent triggers, then works collaboratively to reduce reactivity and improve communication.
To start, she guides clients through a short matching questionnaire and supports scheduling a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How Amanda’s approaches shape online work
Amanda commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, mood problems, and anger that comes from automatic reactions. DBT teaches concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that are useful when feelings escalate quickly.She also uses client-centered methods, which means sessions are guided by the person’s priorities rather than a preset agenda. The therapist and client decide together which approaches to try and adjust this plan as progress is made or new issues arise.
Because session formats were not specified in the source biography, confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people practice skills in their everyday setting and bring real-time examples into sessions. Amanda will help figure out which approach and session rhythm match the client’s goals and day-to-day routine.
