About Amanda
Amanda Grace Hallock is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, and depression. Amanda also helps clients facing issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems, control struggles, and social anxiety and phobia.
Amanda focuses on practical conversations that help clients make changes in everyday life. Sessions tend to look at clear problems and small steps that feel doable. She talks through coping strategies for panic, problem solving around substance use, and ways to rebuild trust after traumatic events.
Her work often addresses the ways past relationships affect current behavior. That can include attachment worries, fear of rejection, or trouble with boundaries and control. She also supports people who feel isolated or stuck while they consider life purpose and motivation.
Amanda adapts the topics and the pace to each person. She aims for direct, respectful discussion and practical next steps after each session. Expectations and goals are reviewed as therapy progresses so adjustments can be made.
Sessions are designed to help people practice new skills between appointments. Amanda encourages trying small experiments in real life and then talking about what worked and what did not. This gives a clear basis for the next session and helps people notice gradual change.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online sessions
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and real-life practice. Cognitive-behavioral approaches look at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to identify patterns and try small changes that reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. This method can help with social anxiety and managing panic attacks by rehearsing responses and changing thinking patterns.Another common technique is trauma-informed work that emphasizes stabilization and pacing. This means building safety in day-to-day routines, learning grounding or distress-tolerance strategies, and then working through traumatic memories at a pace the person can manage. That approach supports people coping with post-traumatic stress or the fallout of abuse.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews progress and adjusts techniques as therapy moves forward, so the plan stays practical and realistic.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can also use video or phone options to support continuity of care and keep sessions focused on concrete skills and homework between meetings.
