About Amanda
Amanda Mills is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) with eight years of clinical experience based in Ohio. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, substance use, and life changes. Sessions are aimed at helping clients name feelings, shift painful patterns, and develop practical coping skills.
Amanda trained in clinical mental health at John Carroll University and studied psychology at Taylor University. Her work history includes inpatient care, intensive outpatient treatment, outpatient groups, and private practice. That range influences how she adapts sessions to different needs.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In practice she helps people notice patterns in relationships and emotions, then tries out new ways of relating and responding.
Amanda has worked with mood disorders, substance use, trauma and grief, and relationship challenges. She has experience with adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, attachment issues, codependency, and communication problems. She also supports people navigating career or life transitions.
Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and on understanding what people feel when their patterns repeat. Amanda offers work with individuals aged 14 and older and with couples. She conducts sessions in English and operates from Ohio, using a subscription payment model that can be canceled at any time.
How Amanda’s approaches translate to online sessions
Amanda integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based ideas. EFT focuses on identifying and changing repeating emotional and interaction patterns that keep people stuck in distress. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and values, then taking actions that match what matters most. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean focusing more on emotions and relationships in some weeks, and on behavioral skills in others.
The practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so therapy can be more consistent. The original biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments and to practice new skills between meetings.
