About Amanda
Amanda Winn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with six years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, and trauma and abuse. Amanda also addresses parenting pressures, grief, mood concerns, and attention-related challenges.
She works from a client-centered perspective that treats the person as the expert on their life. Sessions are practical and direct. Amanda listens to what is happening at home and helps identify small, achievable steps a person can try between meetings.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and test different ways of responding. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered when strong emotions or impulsive behaviors make daily life hard. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused ideas help people clarify goals and strengthen their motivation for change.
Amanda has worked with people facing addictions and domestic violence, and with those navigating adoption, attachment, and body-image concerns. She also supports people dealing with compulsive behaviors, panic, bipolar and depressive moods, and the strain of caregiving or compassion fatigue.
She aims for simple, concrete steps rather than long lectures. Sessions tend to center on what is most pressing at home and at work. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Amanda uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s experience and priorities. This approach means sessions start with listening to what is most important to the individual and building from their strengths.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems active. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, which can help with anxiety, mood issues, and eating or compulsive behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are offered for strong emotions and impulsivity; skills training includes grounding, emotional regulation, and distress-tolerance techniques useful in day-to-day life.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients take an active role in deciding which methods feel most useful.
Confirm available session formats before booking, since the biography did not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can suggest specific exercises and homework that fit into a parent's schedule and daily responsibilities.
