Amanda Lee, LPC - Therapist in Georgia

About Amanda

Amanda Lee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and parenting concerns. Amanda aims to create an open space where clients can talk about hard topics without rush.

Her background includes work in both mental health and addiction settings since 2015. Amanda draws on methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and teach coping skills.

Background and approach

She also uses client-centered techniques to follow each person’s priorities and mindfulness to help manage strong emotions. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolkit for supporting change around behaviors such as substance use. Her early career included time as a law enforcement officer, which shaped her view that many people benefit more from treatment than punishment.

That experience led her to shift into mental health and addiction counseling. Since then she has worked with a range of concerns related to trauma, family problems, and substance issues. Amanda presents herself as caring and nonjudgmental, and she identifies as an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community.

Sessions focus on the client’s current concerns and on practical steps clients can take between meetings. She practices in Georgia and conducts work in English. She offers several remote session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Costs vary with location and therapist availability and are managed through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist offers a supportive stance and helps clients set the agenda for each session. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches concrete emotion-regulation and interpersonal skills drawn from mindfulness practices and behavioral strategies, which can help people handle intense feelings and improve communication.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they will adjust methods as needed so the plan fits the person's life and concerns.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules. These options make it easier to access consistent care without travel and allow work to continue during life changes or tight weeks. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, review homework, and check progress between sessions.

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.
