About Amanda
Amanda Lee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and issues with self-esteem. Amanda also supports people facing life changes, career strain, ADHD concerns, and questions about intimacy and relationships.
Before becoming a counselor, Amanda worked as a law enforcement officer. That experience shaped her view that many people need treatment and rehabilitation rather than punishment. She moved into the mental health and addictions field in 2015 and has kept a focus on recovery and practical coping since then.
Amanda’s style is straightforward and person-centered. She listens for what matters most to each person and uses tools that match those goals. Those tools include cognitive behavioral methods to spot and change unhelpful thinking, skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage strong feelings, motivational interviewing to build readiness for change, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity.
Sessions focus on concrete steps people can use between meetings. Amanda will work on skills for managing anger, reducing anxiety, improving sleep and routine, addressing substance use, or navigating grief and loss. She also attends to attachment and abandonment concerns when these come up in a person’s story.
People who prefer clear, practical plans may find this approach useful. Amanda is an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community and bases sessions on the issues a person brings. Language of sessions is English and she practices in Georgia.
How Amanda uses therapeutic methods online
Amanda often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy skills in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real evidence, which can reduce anxiety and change behavior. DBT provides concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance.She also draws on client-centered principles and motivational interviewing to support readiness for change. That means she collaborates with each person to pick approaches that fit their goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work together.
