    About Amanda

    Amanda Potts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with seven years of clinical experience. She creates a warm, conversational space where people can talk frankly about stress, anxiety, mood problems, sleep issues, trauma, and relationship concerns. Her style is relaxed and nonjudgmental, welcoming people from diverse backgrounds including LGBT clients and those facing first responder stress or workplace burnout.

    She has worked in corrections, crisis counseling, and primary care settings. Amanda also spent three years supporting justice system involved youth, gaining experience with behavior challenges and mood dysregulation. That background informs how she notices safety, pacing, and practical needs during sessions.

    Amanda uses approaches such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with concrete tools to try between meetings. She emphasizes the client’s strengths and works together to set realistic steps forward.

    People can expect a collaborative relationship where Amanda listens first and offers options second. She encourages small changes that fit daily life, including tips for sleep, coping with anger, managing panic, and reducing vaping or smoking. Her tone is encouraging and direct, aiming to build confidence and steady progress.

    To begin, Amanda asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on her availability. She uses plain language and practical strategies so progress feels manageable rather than overwhelming.

  2. How Amanda Uses Practical Therapies Online

    Amanda draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and to choose goals they feel ready to try. That approach focuses on listening, building motivation, and setting small, achievable steps.

    She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches specific skills for anxiety, panic, and mood management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda treats therapy as a collaboration and will help pick methods that match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what’s helping and adjusts plans as progress is made.

    Confirm available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so tools can be practiced in daily life. Licensed professionals can tailor strategies, homework, and pacing to the realities of home, work, and family routines.
