About Amanda

Amanda Wilson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with 21 years of professional experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, grief and loss, and related concerns such as codependency and addiction.

Amanda uses straightforward, practical conversation to help people sort through what is happening in their lives. She focuses on what is getting in the way of feeling more in control and steady. Sessions are meant to let clients say what they are thinking and feeling without judgment.

Her work includes supporting people who are coping with life transitions, chronic stress, mood concerns such as depression or bipolar symptoms, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also addresses issues around intimacy, parenting strain, communication problems, and caregiver stress.

Amanda has completed professional training in TeleMental Health counseling and brings that experience into remote work with clients. She explains options clearly and helps people decide practical next steps.

People who come to her can expect direct talk about boundaries, patterns that keep repeating, and small experiments to try between sessions. She aims to make the process manageable, one step at a time, while supporting clients as they test new ways of relating and coping.

How sessions work

How EMDR and remote sessions can help

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy approach that asks clients to recall distressing memories while following a bilateral stimulation pattern. It is often used to reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories and to help people move forward from past events.

TeleMental Health counseling means Amanda brings therapeutic work to remote sessions. In that format she uses the same practical, direct conversation she uses in person, and applies approaches like EMDR where appropriate for trauma or abuse related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss EMDR and other options and help determine which method fits the client’s goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as work progresses.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which remote formats are offered. People often choose remote sessions to fit therapy into busy lives, shorten travel time, or make it easier to attend brief check-ins during a workday. Therapists and licensed professionals can explain how a chosen format will be used for approaches like EMDR and for everyday talk-based sessions.
