About Amanda
Amanda Williamson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of experience helping people move through hard moments and find steadier footing. She brings a calm, down-to-earth presence to sessions and focuses on practical ways to feel lighter and more capable. Amanda talks plainly and uses tools that people can try right away.
She has worked across a variety of settings, including crisis care and outpatient services, so she is familiar with both immediate needs and longer-term recovery. Amanda helps people with anxiety that won’t quit, depression and low motivation, trauma that still echoes, OCD, relationship struggles, anger, and addiction and recovery. She also addresses related concerns such as grief, stress, self-esteem, and life transitions.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. Amanda draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s pace and priorities. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and mindfulness practices to increase calm in daily life.
Sessions include goal-focused, solution-oriented ideas and motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change. Amanda explains tools in clear language and practices them collaboratively so they fit into real life.
She also notes a few practice boundaries: she does not work with porn addiction or dissociative disorders, and she requires at least 30 days of therapy before considering accommodation letters. People interested in starting are invited to take the next step through the site process.
