About Amanda

Amanda Lovin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with nine years of experience working with adults on trauma, addictions, and relationship concerns. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, intimacy-related issues, and codependency among other concerns. Amanda works with people who feel stuck by other people’s needs or by patterns that limit their life.

Her style is interactive and straightforward. Sessions include talking through current problems, learning skills to manage strong emotions, and practicing new ways of setting limits. She uses several evidence-based approaches to guide this work, and she adapts sessions to what a person needs right now.

Amanda has a background helping people with substance and process addictions and with trauma-related symptoms. She also helps those facing abandonment, control issues, and feelings of emptiness. Practical steps like building coping skills, managing cravings or urges, and improving emotional regulation are common parts of her sessions.

She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and on dialectical behavior tools to handle intense emotions. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships shape current patterns and responses.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Amanda works with clients to set small, reachable goals and to track progress. People who prefer clear strategies and skills practice often find her approach useful.

Amanda offers services in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, users should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the site’s matching and scheduling process.

How sessions work

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work

Amanda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and to clarify what matters most to them. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, and patterns like people-pleasing that get in the way of living a meaningful life.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thinking patterns that increase distress and to practice alternative, more helpful ways of thinking and behaving. CBT often includes short exercises and behavioral experiments that translate well to remote sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining techniques across approaches and adjusting the focus as progress is made.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Talk with Amanda during the matching process about how to structure sessions so they fit daily routines and therapy goals.
