About Amanda
Amanda Rabourn is an Ohio LPCC with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Amanda focuses on practical coping skills and understanding how past events affect current functioning.
She has worked in a Community Mental Health Agency and in a Psychiatric Residential Mental Health Facility. That range of settings has informed how she helps people manage intense reactions and day-to-day challenges. Sessions emphasize clear goals and concrete skills rather than vague promises.
Amanda uses a trauma-informed, person-centered approach. She talks with clients about how traumatic events - such as accidents, abuse, or occupational exposure - can leave flashbacks, sleep problems, intrusive memories, and emotional triggers. The work looks at how those reactions show up in daily life and what can be done to reduce their impact.
Practical skill-building is a regular part of her sessions. Clients learn strategies for managing strong feelings, improving sleep, and reducing distressing memories. Amanda and the client set measurable goals and track progress together.
She also addresses related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, communication problems, and caregiver stress. Amanda is comfortable discussing topics connected to alternative sexual culture and kink when those issues affect someone's emotional health.
Sessions are offered in English and are based in Ohio. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so treatment goals can be identified and work can begin.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Amanda describes her practice as trauma-informed and person-centered, and she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms that interfere with daily life. One approach focuses on teaching practical coping skills to manage strong emotions, intrusive memories, and sleep problems; these are step-by-step strategies clients can practice between sessions. Another approach looks at how attachment and relationship patterns affect current reactions, helping people recognize triggers and experiment with new ways of communicating and relating.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda discusses goals and preferences during early sessions and adjusts methods as needed so the work fits each person's needs and comfort level. She emphasizes clear goals and measurable progress rather than a fixed protocol.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by removing travel time and allowing quicker check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also allow for shorter focused sessions when concentration is limited or for video meetings when visual feedback helps practice communication skills. Ask about available session formats during the matching and scheduling steps so practical arrangements match personal needs.
