Amanda Mills , LPCC

Amanda Mills is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who offers straightforward, practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, or big life changes. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel manageable for people juggling work, family, and daily demands.

She draws on eight years of experience in inpatient care, intensive outpatient programs, outpatient groups, and private practice. That variety means she has worked with people dealing with depression, mood concerns, substance use, grief, and intimacy-related struggles. Amanda also supports those coping with caregiving stress, adoption and foster care matters, and issues connected to attachment and family of origin.

Amanda uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs. She incorporates acceptance-based strategies, cognitive behavioral tools, attachment-focused work, client-centered listening, and skills from dialectical behavior approaches. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical skills, and understanding patterns that get in the way.

People can expect a collaborative pace. Amanda helps identify small, concrete steps toward better coping and clearer communication. She pays attention to relationship patterns and to how stressful life events affect everyday routines.

She offers services across Ohio and provides therapy in English. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Amanda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. That work often focuses on making small behavior changes when stress or anxiety feel overwhelming.

She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT provides step-by-step tools for managing anxiety, depression, and mood swings and for changing patterns that keep problems going.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then adapt techniques to fit those needs. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels doable.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and texting works for brief updates or between-session support. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other daily demands.
