About Amanda
Amanda Potts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with seven years of clinical experience. She has worked in settings that include corrections, crisis counseling, and primary care. Amanda has three years of experience with justice system involved youth.
Amanda helps people facing stress, anxiety, sleep problems, anger, depression, attention difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, and issues related to identity and relationships. She also offers support for mood disorders, panic, self-harm concerns, smoking or vaping cessation, compassion fatigue, and women's issues.
Her style is conversational and collaborative. Sessions are aimed at noticing patterns in thoughts and behaviors, trying small changes, and checking what works. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and practical skills from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to build tools people can use between sessions.
Before clinical roles she worked across different systems, which shaped how she approaches practical problem solving and crisis moments. She focuses on clear steps rather than abstract explanations. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused techniques are part of the mix when the goal is clearer decision making or short-term change.
Amanda conducts sessions in English and practices in Pennsylvania. People who choose to work with her start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Amanda Uses Structured Approaches Online
Amanda commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when working with common problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing out small behavior changes to see what helps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive actions, and improving distress tolerance.She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice their experience without getting swept up in it, and motivational interviewing to support decision making when change feels difficult. Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. Amanda treats that as a shared process - she and the person decide together based on goals, needs, and what feels doable.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or a phone session when bandwidth is limited. The focus is on practical strategies people can use between meetings so therapy fits into everyday routines.
