About Amanda
Amanda Slone uses a client-centered approach to help people facing anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and life changes. She is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - practicing in Kentucky with more than two decades of experience. Her style is calm and direct, focused on practical steps that can be used between sessions.
Amanda aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about feelings and worries. She encourages small, manageable changes rather than sudden overhauls. That can include learning simple coping skills or trying brief experiments to see what helps day to day.
Her background includes long-term work with mood disorders, grief, trauma, and substance-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with panic disorder and panic attacks and with issues around self-esteem, anger, and compassion fatigue. Amanda blends tools from solution-focused work and motivational interviewing to keep sessions goal-oriented.
Mindfulness strategies are part of her approach when they fit a person’s needs, and she draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Sessions usually focus on what matters most to the person and on practical next steps they can try between meetings.
Amanda invites people who are ready to make changes but unsure where to start. She emphasizes collaboration and slow, steady progress. Her experience and straightforward manner aim to help people regain more control over daily life.
How Amanda’s approaches translate to online therapy
Amanda commonly uses client-centered work, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, and mindfulness techniques in her practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can make their own choices about change. DBT skills provide concrete tools for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and practicing better interpersonal responses. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing exercises that can reduce rumination and help with anxiety symptoms.Choosing the right approach is often collaborative. Amanda works with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting tools as needs evolve. The initial conversations typically include setting short-term goals and deciding which skills to practice between sessions.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit into busy days, because it can reduce commuting and allow scheduling around work or family commitments. Online sessions can also make it simpler to practice mindfulness exercises during breaks or to have a shorter check-in when time is limited. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can pick what fits your routine.
