About Amanda
Amanda Potts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. She helps people who are coping with anxiety, stress, sleep problems, anger, and mood concerns including panic disorder and panic attacks. Her style is warm and conversational so clients can speak openly without feeling judged.
She brings seven years of clinical experience from settings such as corrections, crisis counseling, and primary care. That includes three years working with youth involved in the justice system. This range of experience shapes how she listens and responds in sessions.
Amanda uses a collaborative approach. Sessions are conversational and focus on the person’s strengths and goals. She works together with clients to identify practical steps that fit day-to-day life rather than relying on jargon or one-size-fits-all plans.
Her work draws on methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness-based strategies. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to help people move toward change. These approaches are chosen to match the client’s needs and preferences.
People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation, practical tools, and respectful support. Amanda aims to make the process feel manageable from the first contact. She values each person’s story and partners with them to find workable options for coping and growth.
How Amanda’s Approaches Work for Online Therapy
Amanda combines clear, skills-based methods to address pressing issues like anxiety and panic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change behaviors and mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping in the moment.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda works together with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and daily life. That collaborative selection can change over time as needs evolve, and she will check in regularly to make sure the work feels useful.
