About Amanda
Amanda Williamson is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in South Carolina with 22 years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship and parenting concerns, and related mood or intimacy issues.
She has worked across inpatient and outpatient settings, including psychiatric hospital care and longer-term community treatment. That range informs a practical approach that focuses on steady progress rather than quick fixes. Sessions tend to use clear, concrete tools to reduce symptoms and build everyday coping skills.
Amanda draws on Client-Centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most to the person in front of her. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices to help change unhelpful thinking and reduce reactivity. Solution-focused techniques are used to set small, achievable goals and notice what works between sessions.
Her background includes many years supporting people through addiction and recovery, grief and loss, and the lingering effects of trauma and abuse. She also helps with family-of-origin issues, communication problems, codependency, and divorce or separation concerns. She does not work with porn addiction or dissociative disorders, and she requires at least 30 days of established therapy before providing accommodation letters.
Amanda brings life experience as a parent and grandparent into her work, which she says helps her relate to the everyday pressures adults face at home. Sessions are offered in English and she does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location and use a cancelable subscription model.

How sessions work
How Amanda’s approaches translate to online sessions
Amanda uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize what matters most to each person, offering reflective listening and questions that clarify goals. That approach helps adults identify which family or parenting pressures feel most urgent and where to start.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map patterns between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT provides hands-on tools for reducing anxiety, managing mood, addressing anger, and changing habits related to substance use or avoidance.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to use, adjusting techniques as goals and needs evolve. The process is practical and paced to what the person can manage between sessions.
