Amanda Lee, LPC

Amanda Lee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of experience supporting people through addiction, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions and focuses on helping clients find concrete steps forward. Amanda frames therapy around what each person needs in the moment and works at a pace that feels manageable.

Her path to counseling began in law enforcement, where she saw many people whose mental health and substance use needs were going unmet. That experience shaped her decision to move into the mental health and addictions field in 2015. Since then she has worked with individuals facing trauma, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, and problems with anger and self-esteem.

Amanda uses a mix of approaches to match the situation. She draws on client-centered therapy to prioritize each person's goals, cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and mindfulness to build present-moment awareness. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills and motivational interviewing techniques when those fit the work.

Sessions are focused on clear goals and practical strategies. Amanda helps people identify small changes that make daily life easier, whether that means managing cravings, reducing panic, improving communication, or coping with job stress. She states her allyship with the LGBTQIA+ community and creates a nonjudgmental space.

Amanda practices in Georgia and conducts therapy in English. To start, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a brief matching questionnaire before scheduling based on the therapist's availability.

Approaches that shape online therapy

Amanda commonly uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's goals and perspective, helping people set the direction for sessions and feel heard. CBT looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to change patterns that cause distress. DBT provides concrete tools for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will discuss your concerns and preferences, try strategies together, and adjust the plan as progress or needs change. She aims to match methods to practical goals like reducing cravings, lowering anxiety, improving sleep, or handling relationship stress.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed. Therapists can use phone or video to teach skills, set short goals, and review homework between meetings, so therapy can be more flexible around daily life.
