About Amanda
Amanda Eidemiller is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 30 years of professional experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and life changes. Amanda focuses on practical ways to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She talks through coping strategies and next steps in clear, simple terms.
Over three decades she has guided people through grief and caregiving strain, chronic illness and pain, and questions about life purpose. Her work also addresses attachment concerns, guilt and shame, and compassion fatigue. Amanda combines conversational listening with structured techniques so conversations turn into manageable actions.
She uses methods that emphasize examining thoughts and behaviors, strengthening emotional awareness, and building concrete skills for handling distress. Sessions tend to focus on what someone wants to change now and small steps they can try between meetings. Progress is tracked with regular check-ins and adjustments based on how a person responds.
Amanda explains options plainly and encourages people to set realistic, short-term goals. She helps identify barriers such as avoidance, negative self-talk, or overwhelm, and then practices specific skills to reduce their impact. The approach is collaborative and directed toward practical coping.
People who prefer straightforward, skills-based work often find this approach useful. Prospective clients in Michigan who speak English can review online therapy options and complete a short matching questionnaire to begin the intake process.
How Amanda blends CBT and skills work online
Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to make thoughts and behaviors more visible and changeable. CBT sessions focus on identifying patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or low mood and on testing small behavior changes to reduce their impact.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person’s priorities and perspectives. That approach helps people clarify goals and feel heard while practical steps are tried. Dialectical Behavior Therapy elements add concrete skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving emotion regulation when situations feel overwhelming.
Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then select approaches to try collaboratively. Plans are adjusted based on what the client notices and what seems useful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find the structure of CBT and skills work adapts well to remote sessions, but exact logistics should be checked when scheduling.
