About Amanda
Amanda Mills is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (OH LPCC) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and issues related to substance use. Amanda also addresses self-esteem, grief, coping with life changes, and concerns tied to family and intimacy.
She began her graduate work in clinical mental health at John Carroll University after studying psychology at Taylor University. Her career has included inpatient care, intensive outpatient programs, and outpatient group work, alongside private practice. Those settings have shaped a practical, skills-focused way of working with people.
Amanda combines several approaches in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at close relationships and their impact on mood and behavior.
Sessions often involve learning coping skills, practicing communication, and setting small goals between meetings. For someone dealing with addiction or mood swings, she uses methods aimed at crisis stabilization and relapse prevention. For relationship stress, she helps people identify interaction patterns and try concrete changes.
Her background includes work with grief, trauma, caregiver strain, adoption and foster care topics, and fatherhood concerns. Amanda works with individuals aged 14 and older and with couples, focusing on what the person brings to the room and the next practical steps they can try.
How sessions work
How Amanda uses therapy approaches online
Amanda often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT focuses on values-based actions, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behavior patterns. CBT is practical and problem-focused, which helps with depression, anxiety, and managing mood symptoms. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk through your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit what you want to change. Decisions about approach are collaborative and can shift as needs change. Confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help therapy fit everyday life without asking you to rearrange everything.Areas of focus
