About Amanda
Amanda Lee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with eight years of experience. She sees people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and related issues.
She originally trained as a law enforcement officer and shifted to counseling after noticing unmet mental health and addiction needs in that setting. That experience shaped her focus on practical help for people who have faced trauma, substance use, or repeated crisis exposure. Amanda also identifies as an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community.
In sessions she uses clear, goal-oriented methods. She draws on client-centered work to follow the person's priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused ideas, and mindfulness practices to address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, motivation, and everyday coping skills.
Amanda often helps people address issues that come up around family roles, blended households, abandonment and attachment wounds, communication problems, and the strain of parenting. She also supports people managing co-occurring problems such as substance use, depression, or anxiety alongside other concerns like dissociation or compassion fatigue.
Her approach is straightforward: identify the immediate problem, try practical tools, and check what changes. She asks about current stressors and goals, then works with each person to try techniques that fit their life and routines.
How sessions work
How Amanda integrates selected approaches for online work
Amanda uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside client-centered techniques. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and some addiction-related habits. Dialectical behavior therapy emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions, relationship strain, and managing strong urges.Working out which approach to use is part of the first few sessions. Amanda will collaborate with each person to clarify goals, test practical strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps. The plan can combine short skills practice, thought work, motivational conversations, and mindfulness exercises so the work fits daily life.
Confirm available session formats before booking since formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions helpful because they let them schedule therapy around work, childcare, or caregiving duties, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a short follow-up is useful. Amanda will discuss how to structure sessions to fit routines and goals during the initial matching and first appointment.
