About Amanda
Amanda Miller-Hodges is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience in Florida. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, bipolar disorder, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, addictions, and life changes. Amanda also addresses family and parenting concerns and trauma and abuse.
Amanda uses practical methods to help people manage overwhelming feelings. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on skills for emotion regulation, clearer thinking, and coping strategies for day-to-day life.
Her work often includes building routines, practicing skills between sessions, and talking through responses to stress. She offers grief-informed support to people processing loss and helps clients look at behaviors that keep problems going. Amanda teaches distress tolerance and interpersonal skills when emotional intensity gets in the way of functioning.
She has experience running outpatient skills groups and has worked in multiple care settings over her career. That background shapes a mix of short-term and longer-term work depending on what someone needs. The goal is practical change you can notice in everyday routines.
Amanda practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. If someone is thinking about starting, they can complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the work fits their goals.
Approaches used in online sessions
Amanda often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking action that aligns with those values while teaching ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than struggling with them. DBT teaches concrete skills for mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance to reduce intense reactions and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That conversation can include trying one approach and adjusting it over time based on what helps most for daily functioning.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and having shorter check-ins when needed. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online meetings make it easier to attend between classes, work shifts, or caregiving responsibilities without adding travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skills training to work over remote sessions so people can practice tools where they live and work.
