    About Amanda

    Amanda Gragg is a licensed therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. She works with adults who are struggling after difficult life events and those trying to rebuild their sense of self. Amanda speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

    She brings 15 years of experience as a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and as a licensed professional counselor (LPC). Amanda draws on straightforward tools to reduce overwhelming symptoms and to improve day-to-day functioning. She prioritizes small changes that add up over time rather than quick fixes.

    Amanda uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and solution-focused methods. She helps people notice patterns, set realistic goals, and practice new ways of responding to stress. Sessions blend skill-building with moments to reflect and process what has happened.

    Many clients come for help with sleep problems, grief, anger, mood swings, or feeling isolated. Amanda also supports those coping with body image, caregiver stress, substance use concerns, and the effects of past trauma. Her work centers on helping people regain control over daily life and feel more connected to their values.

    In appointments she aims to make plans that fit each person's life. She guides practical strategies for communication, emotion regulation, and self-care. The overall aim is gradual, sustainable change and a kinder relationship with oneself.

  2. How her approaches translate to online work

    Amanda uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build momentum toward goals. This approach is conversational and works well when someone wants to shift habits or address substance use and motivation-related struggles.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors. CBT gives short, practical exercises to do between meetings and can help with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and mood regulation.

    Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice bodily sensations and thoughts without harsh judgment. It can reduce reactivity, improve sleep, and support emotional regulation when practiced in small daily moments.

    Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Amanda will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, testing what helps and adjusting plans as needed.

    Confirm the exact session formats before booking since they are not specified here. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow focused check-ins between other responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework so work continues effectively between sessions.
