Amanda Wilson , LPC

Amanda Wilson is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 21 years of practice in Mississippi. She focuses on women's issues among a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family challenges. She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and supportive.

Amanda creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly about painful topics. She helps clients name what is most troubling and find practical ways to cope day to day. Sessions are conversational and oriented toward real change rather than jargon.

Her work includes support for coping with loss, anger, addiction, trauma and intimacy-related struggles. She also addresses career stress, parenting pressures, self-esteem concerns, and mood challenges such as depression and bipolar disorder. Amanda pays attention to how life transitions affect everyday functioning.

Amanda uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, when trauma memories are part of a person's distress. She blends that with grounded, skills-focused talk so people can manage strong feelings between sessions. The goal is steady improvement in functioning and relationships.

She provides care through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering options to fit different schedules. Amanda welcomes questions about how therapy might fit into daily life and supports clients as they work toward clearer goals and better coping.

How EMDR and flexible online care can fit your needs

Amanda uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, to help when past trauma or painful memories keep causing strong reactions. EMDR typically involves guiding a person to focus on a memory while attending to gentle bilateral stimulation so distress associated with that memory can lessen over time.

She combines EMDR with practical talk therapy to build day-to-day coping skills for anxiety, grief, and relationship stress. Amanda works with each client to decide which approach fits their history, current goals, and comfort level so treatment stays collaborative and goal oriented.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper connection feels helpful. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging can serve as shorter check-ins, help process intense moments between sessions, or suit people who prefer writing to speaking.

Those options make it easier to maintain regular care around work, family, or medical appointments while still accessing licensed professionals. Amanda can discuss which format and therapeutic approach will best support the goals you bring to therapy.
