About Amanda
Amanda Perkins is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of clinical experience. She helps adults who are dealing with anxiety, stress, family concerns, grief, depression, and relationship challenges. She also addresses issues such as parenting strain, intimacy-related problems, ADHD, and career stress.
Amanda uses clear, down-to-earth conversations to identify patterns that come from the family someone grew up in. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. She draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and act in line with their values.
Her approach also includes Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered techniques to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. That work often covers boundaries, communication problems, abandonment concerns, and blended family dynamics. Amanda also offers tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation skills are needed.
People often bring worries about long-standing family roles or unresolved childhood patterns. Amanda helps them name those patterns and test small changes that can reduce their impact on daily life. She supports work on self-esteem, codependency, and coping with health or caregiving stress.
Sessions emphasize clear goals, concrete skills, and checking what actually helps. To begin, prospective clients use the site matching steps to schedule an initial meeting and agree on focus and next steps.
How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work
Amanda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and decisions about relationships or parenting.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early family relationships affect current closeness, boundaries, and reactivity. That approach can clarify patterns that came from family of origin dynamics and guide practical changes. Client-Centered Therapy provides a straightforward stance of listening and reflecting to help people organize their concerns and decide on next steps.
Figuring out which approach fits is part of the work. Amanda will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make the most sense based on goals and preferences. That may mean combining techniques or shifting emphasis over time.
