Amanda Williams, LPC

Amanda Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Registered Dance/Movement Therapist who combines clinical training with creative, body-centered methods. As a Brainspotting practitioner, she uses a targeted technique designed to help people access and process trauma held in both the brain and the body, allowing difficult experiences to be addressed without relying solely on talk-based methods.

Her practice emphasizes the link between physical movement and emotional wellbeing. By blending Brainspotting with movement-based interventions, Amanda creates a therapeutic environment where sensations, gestures, and guided attention work together to support processing, regulation, and insight. This integrative approach can be especially useful for individuals coping with trauma, anxiety, depression, and challenges related to self-esteem and life transitions.

Amanda aims to help people feel heard, valued, and empowered as they explore ways to heal. She takes a collaborative stance in therapy, meeting each person where they are and tailoring techniques to individual needs. Amanda welcomes the chance to connect and to explore how movement-informed and evidence-based methods might support a clearer path toward wellbeing.

Movement-informed approaches and virtual care

Amanda frequently uses Brainspotting, a focused method that helps identify eye positions and somatic cues linked to stored emotional material so clients can process traumatic memories and steady emotional responses. She also integrates dance and movement therapy techniques that employ simple body awareness and guided movement to support regulation, expression, and a stronger mind-body connection - approaches that can aid anxiety, depression, and trauma recovery.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Amanda works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level, adjusting techniques over time so the work remains responsive and client-centered.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing a busy life. These formats provide flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity of care across distances within the same state, and offer multiple ways for clients to engage in the therapeutic work that feels most accessible to them.
