About Amanda
Amanda Williamson is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 22 years of experience based in South Carolina. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and coping with life changes. She also addresses mood disorders and concerns around self-esteem and anger.
Amanda has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, including psychiatric hospitals and community-based care. That range has shaped her practical approach to therapy. She focuses on short-term, hands-on techniques alongside deeper work when needed. Sessions are conversational and direct, with an emphasis on real skills people can use between meetings.
Her tools include cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, solution-focused strategies, and motivational interviewing. Amanda uses these to help quiet repetitive worries, break unhelpful patterns, and support recovery from substance use. She also helps people process trauma and grief at a pace that feels manageable.
Amanda draws on life experience as a parent and grandparent while keeping conversations focused and concrete. She avoids jargon and explains methods in plain language. She notes she does not work with porn addiction or dissociative disorders, and that accommodation letters require at least 30 days of established therapy.

How Amanda uses core therapies online
Amanda commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices alongside solution-focused strategies. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves looking at the thoughts that keep problems going and testing practical alternatives to reduce worry or low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to help manage stress and notice patterns with less reactivity. Solution-focused work zeroes in on small, achievable changes and builds on what is already working.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. Amanda will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on skills practice, trauma processing, motivation for change, or short-term problem solving.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and allow for camera-off phone conversations if that helps reduce stress. Talk with Amanda after the matching step to confirm which formats she offers and how to arrange sessions that suit everyday life.
