Amanda Reid, LPC

Amanda Reid is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) who prefers to be called Mandy. She has eight years of experience and practices in South Carolina. Mandy focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem issues, bipolar disorder, and major life changes.

She uses straightforward, practical methods to help people cope day to day. Sessions often center on building coping skills, practicing grounding exercises, and creating new patterns of thinking and behavior. Mandy emphasizes a welcoming, empathetic atmosphere where people can talk through hard topics without judgement.

Her background includes work as a substance abuse counselor and as a therapist in a group home and a mental health hospital. That experience informs how she supports people with addiction and co-occurring concerns. She aims to meet people where they are and help them reframe situations so self-care feels possible.

Mandy blends goal-focused techniques with a client-centered stance. She helps people identify small, practical steps they can try between sessions. Progress is paced to match each person’s needs and life circumstances.

She encourages building a foundation of healthier thinking and behavior. The work often involves strengthening coping strategies, improving communication, and creating routines that support stability. Mandy presents therapy as a collaborative process focused on realistic changes.

If someone wants to begin, she asks them to complete a short match questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How Mandy’s Approaches Work Online and in Sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects feelings, and helps them make decisions that feel right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and teaches practical skills to change thoughts and actions so daily life becomes more manageable. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotional regulation and coping skills for intense feelings and impulsive behavior.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Mandy will help clients figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques based on what people describe as most helpful, and plans sessions collaboratively so progress matches each person’s pace.

It also lets people use techniques learned in session in real-life settings soon after discussing them. Licensed professionals lead sessions and help tailor strategies that fit daily routines and challenges.
