Amanda Evans Powell, LCSW

Amanda Evans Powell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Maine with 16 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and the challenges that come with life transitions. Amanda also has experience addressing concerns related to concentration, memory, and focus often associated with ADHD.

She approaches work from the belief that each person is the expert on their own story and that existing strengths can be applied to overcome difficult circumstances. Taking the first step toward greater fulfillment and well-being takes courage, and Amanda offers steady support and practical guidance throughout that journey. Her LCSW credential indicates advanced training in clinical social work and the skills to tailor therapeutic approaches to individual needs and goals.

Client-Centered, CBT, and Mindfulness for Online Care

Amanda draws from client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and collaboration so clients guide the pace and goals of their work. This approach helps people build on their own strengths and find solutions that fit their life circumstances.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, a practical approach that examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. CBT can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, low mood, and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.

Mindfulness therapy is part of her toolbox as well, offering simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness can support people coping with anxiety, overwhelm, and chronic stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda works with each client to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods over time to find the best fit.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling easier for busy lives or those with mobility or travel constraints. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent therapeutic support while adapting to each client’s needs and routines.
