About Amanda
Amanda Williamson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and anger, among other concerns. Her practice also addresses relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, grief, and mood challenges.
She has worked in a wide range of settings, including acute psychiatric care and outpatient services. That background gives her experience with both crisis moments and longer-term recovery. Amanda describes her style as down-to-earth and practical, and she draws on tools that help people manage strong feelings and rebuild routines.
Sessions focus on concrete skills and short-term strategies alongside deeper work when needed. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness techniques help people notice triggers and respond more calmly. Solution-focused strategies are brought in to set achievable goals and track progress.
Amanda also uses Motivational Interviewing when readiness for change feels mixed, and client-centered methods to center the person’s own priorities. She asks people to set the pace and works collaboratively to choose what helps most in daily life. Practical tasks and simple homework often accompany sessions to build new habits.
She notes two practice limits: she does not work with porn addiction or dissociative disorders, and accommodation letters are not provided until at least 30 days after therapy begins. Sessions are available in English.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thinking patterns that feed anger and anxiety. CBT gives practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce reactive responses.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach noticing physical and emotional signals before anger rises. Mindfulness offers brief skills to reduce reactivity and stay grounded during stressful moments.
Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set short-term goals and identify small steps that make daily life easier. That approach keeps work action-oriented and measurable when frustration or resentment build.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, what has worked before, and which tools fit their schedule and priorities. Expect decisions about methods to be revisited as progress is made.
