About Amanda
Amanda Gragg is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 15 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and difficult life changes using practical strategies and clear steps.
Amanda focuses on everyday problems like low self-esteem, sleep disruption, grief, anger, and struggles with mood including bipolar concerns. She also addresses issues related to body image, caregiving stress, communication problems, and feelings of isolation. She works with people who identify as LGBT and those coping with post-traumatic stress or substance use concerns.
Her approach centers on concrete skills rather than long abstract talk. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. She also draws on mindfulness practices to help reduce reactivity and on motivational interviewing when people are weighing change.
Sessions are organized around clear goals and short-term steps. Amanda helps clients break problems into manageable pieces and practice new habits between meetings. She supports people in building routines for sleep, stress management, and impulse control.
Clients can expect a straightforward, structured process that emphasizes small experiments and skill practice. Amanda aims to help people make useful changes that fit their daily life and responsibilities.
She sees clients in Wisconsin and conducts work in English. For anyone considering a first session she asks that they complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment via the online therapy options button.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Amanda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and homework. It often helps with anxiety, depression, mood regulation, and stress by turning broad problems into specific, testable steps. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She treats the selection of methods as a collaborative decision and may combine CBT, mindfulness, or motivational techniques to match a client's needs.
Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in their usual routines and bring real-life situations into sessions for problem-solving. Ask during the match questionnaire about the specific session formats offered and which will best fit day-to-day life.
