About Amanda
Amanda Brumfield is an Ohio LPCC with 22 years of clinical experience. She focuses on adults coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting strain, and relationship and family concerns. She also works with people facing addiction, sleep problems, grief, and career or life changes.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps people name the problem and try small changes that fit daily life. She uses clear tools to manage mood swings, anxiety, and overwhelming reactions rather than long abstract explanations.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in the room. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. For trauma and painful memories she may use EMDR tools alongside mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity.
Amanda aims to help people rebuild routines, improve sleep, and find ways to handle parenting stress and family conflict. She offers practical strategies for setting boundaries, reducing guilt and shame, and coping with isolation or burnout. Sessions emphasize short-term skills that can be tried between meetings.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with mood disorders and trauma-related problems. She has supported people with substance issues, personality-related challenges, and veterans, alongside common concerns such as ADHD, anger, and feelings of emptiness. She works in English and practices under her Ohio LPCC credential.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
A client-centered approach means the therapist follows what feels most important to the person. Sessions focus on the client's goals and preferences and adapt techniques to their daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and parenting stress because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies practical skills for handling strong emotions and reducing reactive behavior. Those skills can help with anger, relationship tension, and managing mood instability in everyday situations.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods, and adjust based on what works and what feels manageable. Clients help set goals and decide which tools to keep using.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel for quick follow-ups. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions so they match your routine and practical needs.
