Amanda Lee, LPC

Amanda Lee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who draws on eight years of clinical experience. She decided to move into counseling after time as a law enforcement officer, when she saw people who needed mental health and addiction support more than punishment. Amanda aims to help people build a more satisfying life and stronger sense of self.

Her approach is warm and practical. Sessions focus on the issues you bring right now. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and a client-centered outlook to tailor work to each person.

Amanda has supported people with depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and addictions. She also addresses stress, ADHD, self-esteem, anger, intimacy-related concerns, and career strain. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, substance use, family problems, and first responder concerns.

She identifies as an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community and offers a nonjudgmental space. Sessions are organized around the client’s goals and what seems most helpful in day-to-day life. Amanda encourages practical steps that fit into a client’s routine.

To begin, she asks people to share their current concerns and priorities. From there, Amanda and the client shape a plan using strategies that match the client’s needs and strengths.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Amanda uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy along with a client-centered outlook. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real life to change mood and behavior; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT emphasizes skills for handling intense emotions and improving how someone copes and communicates, which can be useful for anger, relationship strain, and emotional dysregulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will talk with each person about goals, daily life, and preferences to decide which methods to try. She adapts techniques to match what the client wants and how they respond as therapy progresses.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling to appointments. Licensed professionals can use the same CBT and DBT tools effectively through remote sessions, helping people learn skills and practice them between meetings.
