About Amanda

Amanda Reid is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She practices in South Carolina and lists stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, parenting, anger, self esteem, bipolar concerns, and coping with life changes among her areas of focus. Amanda uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions and aims to help people build day-to-day coping skills.

Before working in outpatient care Amanda worked as a substance abuse counselor and in a group home and mental health hospital. That background gave her regular exposure to clients managing trauma, addiction, mood concerns, and attention differences. She draws on that experience when planning treatment steps and checking progress.

Amanda draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person’s goals. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and Motivational Interviewing techniques are also part of her toolbox for building coping skills and increasing motivation.

In sessions Amanda emphasizes practical skills like grounding, emotion regulation, and building routines that reduce stress. She works with people to reframe thoughts, practice new responses, and track changes over time. Her approach is focused on clear steps clients can try between meetings to support daily functioning.

People who contact Amanda are typically looking for practical ways to manage anxiety, improve mood, handle parenting stress, or address addictive behaviors. Prospective clients are invited to review the online options and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule a first appointment.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online sessions

Amanda commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and pacing, allowing the session to follow what matters most in a given moment. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and introduces small experiments and skill practice to shift patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. DBT provides concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that can be practiced between sessions to manage intense emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will talk through your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your situation. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is tracked over time.

The original biography did not specify which online formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten commute time, and allow sessions when leaving work for an appointment is difficult. It also lets people practice skills in environments similar to where they experience stress, and supports regular check-ins focused on skill building and problem solving.
