About Amanda

Amanda Vaughan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 13 years of experience in mental health counseling. She has worked in crisis intervention, led group therapy, and provided care in a range of intensive mental health treatment settings, developing a breadth of clinical experience over more than a decade.

Amanda focuses on supporting people who are coping with depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and the effects of past trauma. She emphasizes practical coping skills, such as mindfulness, to help clients increase awareness and make other therapeutic tools more effective in day-to-day life. Her approach is intended to empower clients to build resilience and navigate life transitions.

Her counseling style is warm, nonjudgmental, and direct, and she draws from evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Existential Therapy, and mindfulness-informed techniques. Amanda adapts her methods to fit each person she works with, shaping sessions to address individual goals and circumstances. She recognizes the courage it takes to seek help and is committed to walking alongside clients as they begin steps toward change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and learn practical strategies to shift them. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns and focuses on skills that can be applied between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT can be especially helpful for people who struggle with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and coping during crises. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experiences, offering a supportive, empathic environment where personal goals and values guide the work. This approach supports growth in self-esteem, relationship dynamics, and navigating life changes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Amanda collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies from these approaches to create a tailored plan that evolves as the work progresses.

Online therapy offers flexible options for engaging with therapists and licensed professionals. Clients can meet through video calls, take phone sessions, or use live chat and text-based messaging to maintain momentum between meetings. These modalities make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue care across different circumstances while focusing on meaningful progress.
