About Amanda
Amanda Wilson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi. She has 21 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship tension, and family concerns. She focuses on practical support for everyday problems like anger, parenting challenges, addiction, and navigating major life changes.
Her sessions aim to be calm and direct. She offers a space where people can talk through difficult feelings without judgment. Amanda emphasizes clear steps and realistic goals so progress feels manageable day to day.
Background and approach
She has training in tele-mental health, so she is familiar with remote session formats and how to adapt therapy to phone or video. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, for trauma-related work and for strong emotional memories. Amanda draws on two decades of practice to tailor approaches to each person.
She listens for what matters most and helps build coping skills that fit the client’s life. The focus is on small changes that add up over time. People often come for support with grief, family conflict, communication problems, addiction, or ongoing mood concerns like depression and bipolar symptoms.
Amanda works to make the process straightforward and to help clients take practical steps toward lasting change.
How EMDR and remote therapy can support healing
Amanda uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, which helps people process distressing memories and reduce the emotional intensity tied to them. It can be useful for trauma, abuse, and other strong emotional reactions that keep showing up in daily life.She also applies practical coping strategies that focus on managing stress, improving communication, and handling family or relationship challenges. These methods aim to build skills that can be used between sessions to make small, steady improvements.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative effort. Amanda works with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Treatment is adjusted over time based on progress and preference.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This mix of formats makes it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and daily routines. It also allows consistent contact with a licensed professional even when in-person visits are difficult.
EMDR
A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
