Amanda Mills, LPCC

Amanda Mills is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at giving clients tools they can use between sessions.

Amanda draws on cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behavior patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to explore values and build a meaningful life despite difficult feelings. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and connection issues.

She has eight years of experience working across inpatient care, intensive outpatient treatment, outpatient groups, and private practice. That range gives her familiarity with both structured clinical settings and the flexibility of one-on-one work. Amanda works with a wide variety of concerns, including grief, mood disorders, substance-related problems, intimacy issues, and career stress.

In sessions she mixes practical skill-building with talk that helps people make sense of their history and patterns. Her approach is collaborative - she and the client set goals and try strategies together. Sessions include clear steps, homework when helpful, and adjustments over time based on what works.

Amanda provides services in English and conducts sessions online through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.

Practical approaches for online therapy and connection

Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on small, concrete changes people can practice between sessions and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when feelings are difficult. ACT can be helpful for those who want to build meaning while coping with persistent emotions. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at relationship patterns and improve communication and closeness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda helps clients explore options and chooses methods based on each person’s goals and preferences. She works collaboratively to try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when video isn’t feasible or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or clients who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
