Amanda Potts

Amanda Potts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or worn out. Amanda also supports those coping with sleep problems, anger, ADHD, grief, trauma, and women's issues. Her manner is warm and down-to-earth, and she aims to make conversations feel calm and approachable.

Her background includes work in corrections, crisis counseling, and primary care settings. She also has three years of experience working with justice system involved youth. That varied experience informs how she listens and responds to practical concerns in sessions.

Amanda uses a collaborative style. Sessions are conversational and focused on the person's goals. She treats each person as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on.

Therapeutic tools she commonly draws on include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness approaches, along with Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques. These tools are used in straightforward, practical ways to address symptoms and daily challenges.

She encourages people to take the first step even when it feels hard. The work centers on small, manageable changes and real-life skills that can help with mood, relationships, and everyday functioning. Amanda welcomes questions about how therapy might fit into someone's routine and priorities.

How Amanda’s approaches work for online care

Amanda often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can lessen stress and improve sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda takes a collaborative path and will work with each person to decide which tools match their goals and daily life. She adjusts methods as progress and preferences become clearer.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals can also adapt exercises and homework to suit remote work, so skills learned in sessions can be practiced between meetings.
