About Amanda

Amanda Winn is a licensed clinical social worker with six years of professional experience in Indiana. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and mood concerns while also addressing addiction, trauma, and relationship struggles. Amanda emphasizes practical steps and clear conversation so parents can fit support into busy lives.

She uses a client-centered stance that treats each person as the expert in their own story. That means sessions start with what matters most to the client and build goals from there.

Background and approach

Amanda also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns that get in the way of feeling better. In sessions she offers tools from dialectical behavior therapy to improve emotion regulation and reduce impulsive reactions. Solution-focused strategies are used to set small, achievable goals and track progress between meetings.

Motivational interviewing supports people who are unsure about change, especially around substance use or lifestyle shifts. Amanda has worked with people dealing with grief, parenting stress, career pressure, compassion fatigue, and attention differences like ADHD. She also addresses adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, body image, eating and food-related problems, and domestic violence recovery.

Her approach is practical and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on safety and pacing. Sessions are offered in English and provided through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and then schedule sessions based on availability.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online care

Amanda integrates client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building goals from the client's priorities, while CBT offers straightforward exercises to change patterns that cause distress.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings run high. DBT-style tools can help reduce impulsive actions and provide clear steps for managing intense moments, which many clients find useful between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Amanda will talk about goals, try different methods, and adjust plans based on what fits the client. That process helps tailor work for parenting stress, addiction concerns, mood issues, or coping with life changes.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people work face-to-face when helpful, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing contact between meetings. These options help people fit care into busy schedules and different daily routines.
