About Amanda
Amanda Perry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 10 years of experience. She began as a school counselor and now also practices in an outpatient setting. Her day-to-day focus includes stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, motivation, and attention challenges such as ADHD.
Amanda keeps conversations direct and practical. She helps people talk through how worry, low energy, or trouble concentrating affect daily life. Sessions often include straightforward strategies for motivation, organizing thoughts, and improving confidence.
Her background in schools shaped a calm, structured approach to problem solving. That experience involved working with attention and focus issues across age groups, and moved naturally into outpatient work for adults. She brings that same focus to concerns like grief, anger, and coping with life changes.
Practical topics Amanda addresses include sleep and eating difficulties, substance-related struggles, intimacy-related issues, and career questions. She also supports people facing guilt, shame, body-image worries, and multicultural stressors. Sexuality and LGBT concerns are listed among her areas of focus.
In sessions she encourages open, honest conversation and straightforward goal-setting. Amanda aims to identify small steps clients can try between meetings. If you want clear, manageable ways to reduce stress or improve focus, she works with clients to plan realistic next steps.
How sessions work
How Amanda Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online
Amanda uses evidence-based techniques that focus on clear skills and behavioral change. One common approach she uses is behavioral strategies for attention and organization, which break tasks into manageable steps and build routines to help with focus and motivation. This approach is useful for people who struggle with concentration or following through on goals.She also applies problem-focused methods for anxiety and stress that teach specific coping skills. These methods involve practicing short, actionable exercises to reduce worry, improve sleep, and manage emotional reactions. They are aimed at making daily routines feel more manageable.
Finding the right approach happens together. She will review goals, try techniques in session, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs and preferences become clearer.
Confirm the specific session formats Amanda offers before booking. Online sessions can be easier to fit into a busy day and allow for consistent check-ins without travel. They also let people use shorter or more frequent meetings when that suits a schedule, and make it simpler to follow through on homework or routine changes between sessions.
