Amanda Mills, LPCC

Amanda Mills is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with eight years of clinical practice. She helps people cope with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and substance concerns. Amanda keeps sessions straightforward and focused so callers can get clear next steps quickly.

Amanda earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health from John Carroll University and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Taylor University. She has worked in inpatient care, intensive outpatient treatment, outpatient groups, and independent practice. That range gives her experience with short-term crisis work and longer-term therapy.

In sessions she draws on practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to help people change patterns that cause distress. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to clarify values and make small behavior shifts. Attachment-informed work helps when relationship history is part of the problem.

Amanda has worked with people facing mood disorders, addiction, grief, and complicated relationship issues. She offers care that mixes skills training, emotional processing, and problem-solving so clients leave with something to try between meetings.

Her style is collaborative and direct. She asks what you want to prioritize and helps you set short-term goals. If you want a therapist who balances practical skills with attention to emotions, Amanda aims to make therapy useful and understandable.

How Amanda's approaches translate to online therapy

Amanda integrates several approaches that work well in remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which can translate to written exercises and between-session homework. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values, often using short exercises and goal check-ins.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit best for their goals, preferences, and daily life. She checks in regularly and shifts focus based on what is helping most.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow quick skill refreshers between meetings. It can also make it simpler to schedule shorter check-ins or regular weekly work when that helps progress.
