About Amanda
Amanda Averill is an Ohio-based clinician holding LISW and LICSW credentials with 10 years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family problems, grief and loss, and depression. Amanda also helps with life changes, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues linked to ADHD.
She starts by listening to each person's experience and strengths. Amanda treats people as the experts on their own story and talks through what has been hard. Early sessions tend to focus on what the client wants to change and small, practical steps to try between meetings.
Her background includes a decade of practice across Minnesota and Ohio settings. That time exposed her to a mix of everyday struggles and complex life events, including caregiving stress, divorce and separation, fertility and hospice concerns, and problems with attachment or abandonment.
In sessions Amanda addresses specific behaviors and patterns that interfere with daily life. She works on coping skills for anxiety and stress, strategies for improving relationships, and ways to manage impulses or addictive behaviors. She also helps people process grief, guilt, shame, and difficult emotions.
People can expect straightforward conversations about goals and progress. Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and keeps the focus on practical tools and next steps.

Therapeutic techniques and working online
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and change unhelpful patterns. She often focuses on practical coping strategies for anxiety and stress that teach breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. These techniques aim to reduce overwhelm and build tolerance for distress over time.She also works on relationship and attachment issues by identifying interaction patterns and practicing different ways of relating. That can include role-play, communication skills, and setting small behavioral experiments to test new approaches in real life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit a person's needs and preferences, and adjust plans based on what proves helpful. Clients participate in choosing the techniques and measuring progress together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also allow for flexible scheduling around work or caregiving responsibilities while keeping the focus on practical skills and real-world practice.
