About Amanda
Amanda Lovin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who uses practical, skills-based therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, and life changes. She combines evidence-based methods with a compassionate, straightforward style. Sessions are aimed at helping clients find clearer thinking and better coping strategies in day-to-day life.
Amanda draws on nine years of clinical experience focused on trauma, addictions, and mood concerns. She works with people facing relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, and issues tied to control, codependency, and abandonment.
Background and approach
Her background includes helping clients with substance and process addictions and first responder or veteran-related stress. In sessions she blends approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based work, and Client-Centered therapy. Amanda adapts techniques to each person’s needs and focuses on practical skills that can be used outside of sessions.
She keeps the room warm and direct, aiming for real change over time. Her practice also addresses intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue, dissociation, and forgiveness work. Amanda offers support for coping with natural or human-caused disasters and exploring life purpose when that feels unclear.
She approaches addiction and recovery with both structure and empathy. Sessions are delivered in English and are available to international clients. Amanda emphasizes collaboration - she and the client choose goals and build a plan together.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Amanda commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which focuses on identifying values, accepting difficult thoughts, and taking committed action toward meaningful goals. This approach can help with anxiety, avoidance, and navigating life changes. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments that change feelings and behavior. CBT is useful for depression, anxiety, and problem-solving day-to-day challenges.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda works with clients to match methods to their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. That means clients and therapist choose tools together, then try them in real life and review what helps.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for busy schedules and for people in different places. These formats make it possible to practice skills between sessions and check in in ways that suit each person. Amanda incorporates worksheets, behavioral experiments, and emotion regulation skills into remote sessions so therapy stays practical and focused.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
