About Amanda
Amanda Whichard is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, who works from Mississippi. She has six years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, grief, and the day-to-day effects of trauma. She speaks English and focuses on practical ways to reduce what is getting in the way of daily life.
Amanda believes each person knows their story best. In sessions she helps people notice strengths and use them to make small, steady changes.
Background and approach
She emphasizes clear goals and concrete steps rather than long lists of theory. Her work often centers on breaking down big problems into manageable tasks. That can mean learning tools to cope with panic, finding routines that support mood stability, or practicing skills to reduce impulsivity and distractibility.
She also helps people process loss and adjust to life changes at a comfortable pace. Amanda draws from a mix of therapies to fit each person’s needs. She uses skills-based work and mindfulness practices, and she can include trauma-focused strategies when people are ready to address painful memories.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused so progress is visible. People meet with Amanda by phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging. She describes therapy as teamwork - the client and therapist set priorities together and track small wins over time.
Therapeutic tools and how they work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with new behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, and managing everyday problems by teaching concrete coping steps.DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for people who want practical strategies for distress tolerance and emotion regulation.
Amanda treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that match those needs. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan over time so work in sessions transfers to daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for more in-depth sessions that benefit from face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can fit a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking skills in real time, or when someone prefers typing to talking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules.
