About Amanda
Amanda Gibson is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with 12 years of clinical experience based in Indiana. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship struggles, and life transitions. Amanda also supports people dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting pressures, and self-esteem concerns.
She focuses on practical skills clients can use right away. Sessions include talking through current problems, learning coping strategies, and building clearer decision-making. Amanda uses structured approaches when helpful and listens to what matters most to each person.
Amanda draws on several evidence-informed methods to address patterns that keep problems going. She often combines cognitive behavioral ideas with mindfulness skills to reduce overwhelming thoughts and to improve day-to-day functioning. She also uses client-centered and emotionally-focused ways of working to strengthen how people understand their feelings and relationships.
Her broader experience includes working with people affected by cancer and caregivers who carry ongoing stress. She has supported others with intellectual disability, traumatic brain injury, and long-term mood or personality concerns. Amanda’s own experience as a breast cancer survivor informs how she talks about illness, loss, and rebuilding routines.
Sessions tend to focus on clear, manageable steps. Amanda helps set short-term goals and reviews progress regularly. She encourages practical problem solving and skill practice between meetings so change can feel more possible in ordinary life.
How her approaches shape online sessions
Amanda often uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into small steps and practicing different responses.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness techniques to manage strong emotions and increase present-moment awareness. DBT-style skills can teach steadying tools for impulsivity, anger, and intense mood swings, while mindfulness helps reduce rumination and improve focus.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Amanda treats that as a collaborative process and will help identify which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences over a few sessions.
