About Amanda
Amanda Lee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with eight years of experience. She started her path after working as a law enforcement officer and seeing how many people needed mental health care and addiction support instead of punishment. She now focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and parenting concerns among other issues.
Amanda keeps sessions practical and centered on the person in front of her.
Background and approach
She listens first, then uses approaches that fit the individual. She draws on client-centered methods and evidence-informed techniques to help people find useful ways to cope and make changes. Her work often addresses trauma, grief, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions.
Amanda also supports people dealing with ADHD, relationship and intimacy challenges, and career-related stress. She identifies as an ally to the LGBT community and offers a nonjudgmental space for those clients. In sessions she may use cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior ideas, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to help people build new patterns.
Amanda emphasizes small, practical steps that can be practiced between appointments. She helps clients set goals and develop skills that fit their daily life. People who come to Amanda can expect straightforward conversation and a focus on what matters to them now.
She works collaboratively to find approaches that match goals and preferences. Her background in law enforcement shaped a focus on rehabilitation, real-world coping skills, and helping people move toward a more fulfilling future.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Amanda often uses client-centered work to make sessions about the person's priorities. This approach means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the client choose the next steps. It is useful for people who want a supportive space to sort out goals and values.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors together. CBT offers concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday stress by changing unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques may appear when emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills are needed to manage intense feelings and reduce impulsive reactions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss options and tailor methods to the client's needs, goals, and preferences. She treats the process as a collaboration and adjusts over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and work when a camera is not preferred; live chat and text-based messaging offer brief check-ins or ongoing contact between appointments. These formats help people access consistent support without long travel times and offer flexible ways to practice new skills.
