About Amanda
Amanda Lee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief, trauma and related problems. She also supports concerns such as ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, and career stress.
Amanda began her path after working in law enforcement and seeing how mental health and addiction needs went unmet. That led her into counseling work in 2015 and onward. Her background includes time in mental health and addiction settings where she worked directly with people needing rehabilitation and therapeutic support.
Her approach blends practical, skills-focused methods. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thinking and try new responses. She also draws on client-centered listening, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to address motivation and coping.
Sessions typically center on current problems and concrete strategies. Amanda helps people identify patterns that keep problems going, practice different responses, and build daily habits that reduce symptoms. She frames work as a collaborative effort with clear steps and homework when useful.
Amanda states that she is an ally to the LGBT community and does not judge. Her practice covers a broad range of issues including substance use, trauma, abandonment and attachment concerns, blended family strains, first responder issues, and compassion fatigue. She asks prospective clients to discuss scheduling directly to set appointments.
How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work
Amanda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills in her sessions. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that worsen mood or anxiety and then testing small changes to improve day-to-day functioning. DBT skills teach concrete tools for managing intense emotions, handling distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.She also uses a client-centered stance that prioritizes listening and building a workable plan together. Deciding which methods to use is collaborative: the therapist and client review goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what fits the client's needs and preferences.
Session format details are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, enable shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use phone-only or video options when those formats suit their schedule, bandwidth, or preference for less on-camera time.
