Amanda Fisher, LCMHC

Amanda Fisher is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 10 years of professional experience. She works with adolescents, adults, and couples to address stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, family and parenting concerns, and a range of intimacy and career-related issues. Amanda also offers Christian-based therapy for clients seeking faith-informed support and brings experience supporting veterans, military families, and those navigating deployment-related adjustment and PTSD.

Amanda’s background includes work in residential and community settings where she completed therapeutic intakes, facilitated life skills and co-parenting classes, and led group and individual therapy. Her clinical experience spans at-risk adolescent programs, residential treatment for adolescents and temporarily homeless families, faith-based counseling centers, and support services on a military installation. In these roles she assisted with suicide risk assessments, intake screenings, hospital referrals when needed, crisis management and de-escalation, and co-therapy groups for children, adolescents, and adults. Training in trauma resolution, grief counseling, and equine assisted therapy has informed her practical approach to care.

She prioritizes creating a nonjudgmental space where clients can process difficult emotions, develop coping skills, and work toward their goals. Amanda emphasizes collaborative work with clients, believing that progress is most meaningful when the client is actively engaged in the therapeutic process.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Counseling

Amanda uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a warm, accepting environment where the client’s perspective guides the pace and goals of work; this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, strengthening relationships, and exploring values. She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and improve daily functioning. For clients affected by traumatic experiences, Amanda integrates Trauma-Focused Therapy techniques that prioritize stabilization, safety, and gradual processing of traumatic memories to support recovery from abuse, loss, or deployment-related stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amanda collaborates with each client to identify what fits best based on presenting concerns, personal goals, and treatment preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps clients feel invested and guided rather than prescribed a single method.

Online therapy with Amanda is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to maintain consistent work on goals, access care from home or during life transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each client.
