About Amanda
Amanda Evans Powell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Maine with 16 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, motivation problems, and life changes, as well as concentration and focus concerns often related to ADHD.
Amanda uses straightforward, practical methods to address day-to-day problems. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. She also draws on client-centered ideas to listen and reflect what matters to each person.
Sessions focus on small, doable steps. People work on noticing thinking patterns, practicing different behaviors, and building simple routines that fit their life. Mindfulness tools may be introduced to help with attention and grounding.
Amanda emphasizes collaboration. She treats the person as the expert on their own story and highlights existing strengths. Work together often includes setting clear goals and checking progress at each visit.
Her background includes many years in clinical practice in Maine and earlier pre-master's roles that informed her approach. She keeps the work practical and goal-oriented, with an eye toward improving day-to-day functioning and confidence.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thinking patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood. CBT sessions focus on clear goals, homework between visits, and testing small behavior changes that fit daily life.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means listening closely and reflecting what matters most to the person. Mindfulness Therapy may be offered to build attention and reduce reactivity through short, practical exercises.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Amanda will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adjust the approach based on goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
