About Amanda

Amanda Pryor is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 15 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, relationship shifts, and other life transitions. She combines practical, evidence-informed techniques with a warm, attentive presence to help individuals better understand how stress, self-esteem, and identity influence daily functioning and relationships.

Amanda pays close attention to communication patterns, attachment concerns, and workplace dynamics, offering targeted guidance for social anxiety, panic, caregiver stress, and challenges related to separation or divorce. Her work often centers on building coping strategies for intense emotions, improving interpersonal skills, and exploring a clearer sense of life purpose.

Working collaboratively, Amanda helps clients develop concrete tools for managing mood disorders, navigating relationship changes, and addressing guilt, shame, or control issues. She emphasizes a strengths-based, culturally responsive stance that honors each personâs background and lived experience. Whether someone seeks relief from panic attacks, deeper self-understanding, or support through a major life change, Amanda provides steady, compassionate care aimed at fostering resilience and long-term growth.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care



Amanda uses evidence-informed approaches that focus on practical skills and relational patterns. One common element of her work is attachment-focused interventions, which look at how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and communication - these approaches can be helpful for relationship concerns, attachment issues, and understanding patterns of closeness and distance.

She also emphasizes skills-based coping strategies that teach concrete tools for managing anxiety, panic, and stress. These strategies help clients learn ways to reduce intense symptoms, build resilience, and navigate workplace or caregiver stress more effectively.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting techniques over time to best fit the clientâs needs and pace.

Online therapy with Amanda is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions from home, balance therapy with work or caregiving, and maintain continuity of care during life transitions.
