About Amanda
Amanda Ulmer is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health (LPC-MH) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Dakota with six years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. Amanda also addresses common patterns such as attachment difficulties, codependency, abandonment concerns, and communication or control issues.
In sessions she uses clear, practical approaches. She draws from attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current ones. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. She also incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered listening when appropriate.
Amanda focuses on helping people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She talks through specific examples from daily life and practices small experiments to try between sessions. Work can include skill-building for emotion regulation, setting healthier boundaries, and improving communication with others.
She aims to make sessions straightforward and goal-focused. People often come for help with parenting stress, relationship strain, or persistent guilt and shame. Amanda helps people clarify what matters to them and take manageable steps toward that.
Sessions are conducted in English in South Dakota. Before scheduling, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire to connect with her online therapy options and book a first session.
How sessions work
How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work
Amanda uses attachment-based ideas to explore how past relationships shape current patterns. That approach helps when someone struggles with closeness, fear of abandonment, or repeating old dynamics in partnerships or friendships.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and test unhelpful thoughts. CBT provides concrete exercises and small behavior experiments that can be practiced between sessions to change how someone reacts to stress or people-pleasing urges.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Amanda collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. She will check in and adapt plans based on what is helpful and what is not.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Ask about the available session types when you complete the short matching questionnaire. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a break or not needing to travel to an office, while keeping the focus on skill practice and real-life changes.
