About Amanda
Amanda Gibson is an Indiana Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and the everyday challenges that make life feel overwhelming.
Amanda offers straightforward support for coping with life changes, relationship concerns, parenting strain, anger, and mood disorders including bipolar disorder. She also works with people facing traumatic experiences, trauma-related symptoms, and those living with or impacted by cancer. Her additional focus areas include autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, substance use issues, and problems tied to impulsivity or isolation.
Her approach emphasizes practical skills and clearer thinking. Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. She also draws on client-centered methods to listen without judgment and DBT-informed strategies for emotional regulation when emotions feel intense.
In sessions she aims for clear goals, brief skill-building, and concrete practices people can use between meetings. Conversations often include identifying thought patterns, trying new behaviors, and practicing grounding or mindfulness exercises.
Amanda’s personal experience as a breast cancer survivor informs her work with people affected by cancer and caregiving roles. She combines that perspective with twelve years of clinical practice to support practical problem solving and steadier day-to-day coping.
To get started clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. Amanda works in English and is based in Indiana as an LMHC.
How Amanda uses structured approaches in online work
People are often taught specific tools they can use between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and can make their own choices. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills when feelings become overwhelming.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will review your goals and preferences, try a few techniques, and adjust what she uses based on what helps you make steady, practical change. Expect clear goals and short practice tasks to try outside sessions so progress can be measured.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or sessions without needing to travel. Many people find that using structured CBT or DBT skills in remote sessions helps keep momentum between meetings.
