Amanda Lee, LPC

Amanda Lee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, addictions, and a broad range of life challenges. She approaches each person with empathy and a focus on helping them build a more fulfilling future, combining evidence-based tools with a person-centered stance to meet clients where they are.

Her work grew out of a prior career in law enforcement, where she saw first-hand that many people benefit more from therapeutic support than from punitive responses. That experience inspired her to specialize in mental health and addiction treatment and to support clients in making lasting changes. Amanda uses cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, client-centered techniques, solution-focused elements, and mindfulness to tailor interventions to each person s needs.

Amanda works with individuals facing stress, relationship and family concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, substance use, grief, and issues related to identity and intimacy. She is an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community and maintains a nonjudgmental, affirming approach in sessions. She bases care on the client s current concerns and collaborates on a plan that fits their goals and preferences.

Please note that not all available openings are listed on her calendar. Prospective clients are encouraged to discuss dates and times directly with Amanda to arrange sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Amanda Lee

Client-centered therapy emphasizes understanding each person s unique perspective and building a collaborative relationship. In practice this means sessions focus on listening, validating experience, and helping clients identify their own goals and strengths to guide change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replace them with more adaptive skills. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges where changing thinking and behavior can improve functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and patterns that feel overwhelming.

Amanda approaches treatment collaboratively - she will work with each client to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Online therapy offers practical benefits for this work. Video calls provide real-time face-to-face interaction, phone sessions allow flexibility when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging can make it easier to maintain momentum between scheduled appointments. These options increase accessibility and make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who guide the process.
