Amanda Lee , LPC

Amanda Lee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who brings eight years of clinical experience to her work with adults facing emotional and behavioral challenges. She focuses on common and complex concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, grief, addictions, self-esteem struggles, relationship and family difficulties, and other life transitions. Amanda combines empathy and practical skill to help people explore patterns, build coping strategies, and pursue meaningful change.

Her approach is informed by therapies that emphasize collaboration and skill building, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, client-centered methods, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. These tools are applied in ways that match each person’s goals and circumstances, whether the focus is symptom reduction, relapse prevention, improving communication, or managing stress and mood fluctuations. Amanda’s interest in counseling grew from earlier experience in law enforcement, where she recognized gaps in how mental health and addiction concerns were addressed and developed a commitment to rehabilitation and therapeutic support rather than punishment.

She is an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community and maintains a nonjudgmental stance in sessions. Please note that Amanda is not currently accepting new clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and the Convenience of Online Care

Amanda integrates client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, respectful space where each person’s values and goals guide the work; this approach helps when the priority is understanding personal experience and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and coping with ongoing stressors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Amanda works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the plan reflects what is most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support when it is needed, and coordinate sessions around work, family, and other obligations while working with licensed professionals.
