Amanda Winn , LCSW

Amanda Winn is a licensed clinical social worker in Indiana who draws on six years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and relationship concerns. She works from a strengths-based view and treats each person as the expert on their own life. Amanda aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful.

Amanda uses straightforward talk and practical tools in sessions. She listens first to understand what matters most, then helps set clear, realistic goals. Amanda blends problem-solving with skills practice so people can try new ways of coping between meetings.

Her work often focuses on mood and behavior changes like depression, bipolar symptoms, panic, and impulsivity. She also addresses eating and body-image issues, attachment and adoption-related concerns, and substance misuse. When trauma or grief is present, she helps people find ways to feel steadier and more in control of daily life.

Amanda draws on several approaches that fit different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and change unhelpful thought patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Motivational interviewing supports people who want to shift habits but feel stuck.

Sessions are offered in English and Amanda provides telehealth options including video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. People decide goals together and adjust the pace to match what feels doable.

Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life

Amanda commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship so people feel heard and understood. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety, depression, and eating concerns. DBT teaches clear skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsivity, and tolerating distress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda works with each person to consider their goals, strengths, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods, adjust them over time, and pick the mix that best supports progress.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video lets you work face to face; phone can be easier if bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins, shorter tasks, or times when a written check-in helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping care focused on the approaches that help you most.
