About Amanda
Amanda Wilson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with 21 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, and addiction concerns. She also supports those facing parenting strain, career stress, mood concerns like depression and bipolar, and challenges tied to adoption and foster care.
Amanda keeps sessions straightforward and grounded. She creates an open space where clients can talk through painful feelings without judgement. She emphasizes listening first, then works with each person to set realistic goals they can try between sessions.
Her background includes professional training in Telemental Health counseling. She brings that experience to remote work and to planning practical next steps after conversations. In sessions she focuses on what will help someone feel steadier in daily life.
Amanda uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, when it fits a client's needs. EMDR can be part of trauma work and can help reduce the intensity of painful memories when paired with a paced treatment plan.
People who contact Amanda usually want clear, manageable steps and a clinician who listens closely. She aims to help people build skills for coping with change, improving communication, and handling stress in everyday moments.
How EMDR and practical approaches work in online therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, usually called EMDR, uses structured attention and bilateral stimulation to help reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories. It is often used for trauma and related symptoms and is applied in a paced way that matches a client's comfort level.In addition to EMDR, Amanda focuses on clear coping skills and communication techniques. These methods teach concrete steps people can use day to day to manage anxiety, stress, and relationship strain. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit best for current needs and goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will work with each person to test methods, check progress, and adjust the plan based on what is helping. This means trying tools in session and planning simple exercises to practice between meetings.
Session formats are not listed here, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy schedules and reduces travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to keep appointments during work breaks, to choose shorter check-ins when needed, or to meet from a quieter spot without commute time. Licensed professionals can adapt EMDR and skills-based work to remote settings when appropriate, and Amanda uses her Telemental Health training to plan how approaches will be delivered.
