Amanda Rabourn , LPCC

Amanda Rabourn is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who focuses on trauma and stress-related concerns. She emphasizes a calm, person-centered approach and helps people rebuild daily functioning after difficult experiences. Her work is grounded in understanding how past events influence behavior today and in teaching practical coping skills.

She has nearly four years of clinical experience in community mental health and in a psychiatric residential mental health facility. Those roles involved helping people manage intrusive memories, flashbacks, sleep problems, and emotional triggers that disrupt daily life. That background shapes how she approaches sessions now.

Amanda frames therapy as a collaborative process. She listens first, then helps set clear, individual goals with each person. Sessions focus on building skills for day-to-day coping and on understanding the ways trauma affects thinking, mood, and relationships.

Her work addresses a range of concerns including anxiety, stress, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and the effects of abuse. Additional areas she supports include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, communication struggles, and fertility or caregiver stress.

Amanda lists women’s issues among her areas of focus and aims to create a gentle space for processing painful memories and moving forward. People who prefer straightforward discussion and practical tools may find her approach helpful.

How Amanda Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online

Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in online sessions, focusing on practical skills and understanding trauma's effects. One common approach involves grounding and stabilization skills that help reduce overwhelm and manage intrusive memories; these techniques teach simple steps to calm the body and regain focus during distress. Another emphasis is on coping skill development that targets anxiety, sleep problems, and day-to-day functioning; these sessions often include teaching routines, relaxation practices, and problem-solving strategies tailored to individual needs.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist begins by listening to the person's concerns and goals, then suggests strategies to try. Over time they adjust methods based on what helps most, so the work stays aligned with the person's preferences and progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation and allow for a fuller exchange, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and live chat or text messaging can fit brief updates or ongoing skill coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while working around work, family, and other obligations.
