About Amanda
Amanda Brumfield, LPCC, helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting challenges. She draws on 22 years of practice to offer steady support and practical tools. Her style is calm and direct, aimed at making small changes that fit daily life.
Amanda focuses on building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship so clients can explore difficult feelings. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skill practice, gentle reflection, and problem-solving suited to real-world needs. Her background includes two decades of work with mood disorders, addiction concerns, and trauma-related symptoms. She also supports people facing grief, career changes, compassion fatigue, and struggles with self-esteem and isolation.
That experience informs how she tailors strategies to individual situations. Amanda uses several evidence-based approaches in her work. She draws from client-centered methods to follow a person’s lead, uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts, and applies mindfulness practices for grounding.
EMDR and dialectical behavior approaches are available when appropriate. People meet Amanda for a mix of short-term problem focus and longer-term personal growth. She aims to help clients find coping strategies that fit their routines and responsibilities.
Her practice is located in Ohio and she conducts sessions in English.

How Amanda’s Approaches Work Online
Amanda often uses client-centered therapy to shape sessions around each person's concerns and pace. This approach emphasizes listening, reflecting, and collaborating so the conversation follows what matters most to the client.She also commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, sleep trouble, and parenting stress because it teaches clear skills to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life, then suggest methods to try. The plan can change over time as needs and progress become clearer.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video can be useful for longer sessions and skill practice, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can offer brief check-ins or homework support. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity during transitions.
