Amanda Brumfield, LPCC - Therapist in Ohio

About Amanda

Amanda Brumfield is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with 22 years of experience. She focuses on common and complex concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting stress, and addictions. Amanda aims to offer a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what feels hardest and build clearer coping skills.

She uses practical, down-to-earth methods rather than jargon. Sessions often center on what the person wants to change now, with simple skills and steps to try between meetings.

Background and approach

Amanda blends talk therapy with concrete tools that help with mood swings, sleep problems, anger, and motivation. Her training includes client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness work, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). These tools are used to address trauma, mood symptoms, and problems with attention and impulse control.

Amanda also brings experience helping people facing guilt, loneliness, and career or life-purpose questions. In sessions she listens first, then offers options that fit each person's goals and lifestyle. For parents juggling many demands, she focuses on realistic strategies that can fit a busy day.

For people coping with grief, addiction, or a history of abuse, she aims to create a steady, practical plan for recovery. Amanda practices in Ohio and conducts sessions in English. She holds the Ohio LPCC license number OH LPCC E.2404821 and draws on more than two decades of work to guide treatment choices and next steps.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Amanda uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors that affect mood and daily functioning. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and improving routine habits.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT tools are often helpful when strong emotions, anger, or impulsive behavior get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Amanda starts by listening to a person’s goals and current challenges, then suggests one or more methods to try. She checks in and adjusts the plan as things change so the work fits each person’s needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make scheduling easier and let people continue therapy from home, between work tasks, or while managing childcare. The different formats also allow for short check-ins or deeper weekly sessions depending on what a person needs and what fits their routine.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
