About Amanda
Amanda Potts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with seven years of clinical experience. She has worked in settings such as corrections, crisis counseling, and primary care, and has three years of experience with justice system involved youth. Amanda focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, anger, sleeping problems, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and related issues.
Amanda uses a conversational, collaborative style. Sessions are relaxed and direct. She encourages people to tell their story and to test out new ways of handling hard moments. The work is focused on what people can do between sessions as well as what happens in the room.
Her toolbox includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those methods are used to reduce unhelpful patterns, manage strong emotions, and build clearer routines for sleep and daily life. She helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that fuel anger and frustration, then practices alternative responses.
Amanda has experience supporting first responders, people facing prejudice and discrimination, and those dealing with mood disorders including bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation concerns. She also addresses impulsivity, panic, self-harm, smoking or vaping cessation, and parenting stress.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect practical, step-by-step work. To begin a match and schedule a first session, prospective clients use the site workflow to complete a short questionnaire and pick a time.
Approaches Amanda Uses and how online sessions work
Amanda commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside mindfulness practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical steps to change them; it is useful for anxiety, anger, and sleep routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help manage strong reactions and reduce impulsivity.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amanda uses a collaborative process to identify which methods fit a person's goals and daily life. She will check in about what works and adjust strategies so the work stays relevant and doable.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when a brief update is needed. Some approaches, like skill practice and brief coaching, translate well to remote sessions, while other goals may combine different meeting styles. Confirm current session options before scheduling to make sure they match your needs.
