About Amanda

Amanda Lee is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with eight years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She transitioned into mental health care after serving as a law enforcement officer, where she witnessed how unmet behavioral health and addiction needs could be better addressed through therapy rather than incarceration. That experience shaped her commitment to rehabilitation and informed a practice focused on practical, person-focused care.

Amanda draws on several evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), client-centered approaches, mindfulness strategies, solution-focused techniques, and motivational interviewing. She works with a broad range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, bipolar disorder, parenting and family challenges, and compassion fatigue.

Amanda identifies as an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community and offers a nonjudgmental, empathic environment aimed at helping clients move toward greater functioning and life satisfaction. Scheduling is flexible and not all openings appear on the public calendar, so interested clients are encouraged to discuss specific dates and times when they begin the intake process.

Approach-driven online care with practical skills

Amanda integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into online work to provide structured tools and emotional regulation strategies. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, while DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress.

She also uses client-centered techniques and mindfulness to ensure sessions remain grounded in each person's values and preferences. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process; Amanda works together with clients to select and adapt methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort with online formats rather than imposing a single path.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for scheduling flexibility and easier access from different locations within Georgia. These formats can make it simpler to maintain consistency in care, practice skills between sessions, and fit therapy into busy lives while preserving the therapeutic relationship with a licensed professional.
