About Amanda
Amanda Perkins is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief, and self-esteem struggles. Amanda also supports those coping with career strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and intimacy-related concerns.
Her work emphasizes clear, emotion-focused conversations. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Sessions center on naming feelings, noticing patterns, and trying small changes that can make daily life easier.
Amanda often helps clients untangle family and relationship issues. She addresses attachment concerns, communication problems, blended family challenges, and adoption or foster care related worries. She also works with people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, and changes that come with aging.
Her style is client-centered and direct. Amanda encourages practical skills such as emotion awareness, values-based action, and breathing or grounding techniques when helpful. She supports people in setting realistic goals and tracking small steps toward them.
She conducts therapy in English and practices in Florida as an LMHC. Amanda asks new clients to complete an intake questionnaire to clarify goals and to plan initial sessions. The process is aimed at finding what methods and pacing fit each person.
How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work
Amanda uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people recognize and name strong feelings and how those feelings shape their behavior. EFT can be useful for clients who want to understand attachment patterns and emotional cycles that get repeated in relationships or personal responses.She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking manageable steps toward them despite difficult thoughts or sensations. Attachment-Based Therapy appears in her work to help identify early relationship patterns that affect current connections and communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda will discuss the options with each person and together they decide which methods and pacing feel most helpful. That collaborative planning looks at current struggles, short-term goals, and practical constraints like work, caregiving, or health needs.
