About Amanda
Amanda Fisher is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with ten years of professional experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, parenting strain, and intimacy-related concerns. She also offers Christian-based therapy when clients want faith included in their work.
Amanda uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most pressing. She draws on client-centered approaches to listen and reflect what matters to each person. When needed she brings in cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and narrative work to make sense of painful experiences.
Her background includes campus and community settings, residential programs, and work with military-connected families. She has experience doing intake assessments, crisis intervention, group facilitation, and individual counseling across the lifespan. That work included suicide risk assessment and coordinating hospital referrals when necessary.
She has worked with adolescents, adults, and couples in both secular and faith-based settings. Amanda has supported people through parenting challenges, postpartum concerns, family-of-origin conflicts, and recovery after trauma. She also has experience guiding people through grief, life transitions, and compassion fatigue.
In sessions she emphasizes practical coping skills and clearer communication. She views therapy as a collaborative process and helps clients set concrete goals. To begin she asks about what daily life looks like and what specific changes someone hopes to make.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Amanda integrates client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and narrative therapy. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can shape goals. That approach helps when someone needs a calm place to sort through parenting strain or family conflict.Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is useful for anxious thinking, depression, and practical coping skills. Narrative therapy helps people tell their story differently to reduce shame and make meaning after trauma or loss.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the first sessions. She will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The process is collaborative and goal-oriented rather than fixed.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can also use structured exercises and homework that translate well to remote sessions, helping clients practice new skills between meetings.
