About Amanda
Amanda Mills is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with eight years of clinical experience. She completed a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health at John Carroll University and a bachelor’s degree in psychology at Taylor University. Amanda works with common young adult concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, career decisions, and coping with life changes.
Amanda has experience across inpatient care, intensive outpatient services, outpatient groups, and private practice. That range means she is used to both short-term focused work and longer conversations when needed. Her practice often addresses depression, mood disorders, substance use issues, grief, and intimacy-related concerns.
Her work uses practical, talk-based methods. She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused thinking, and client-centered conversations. Sessions typically focus on real-life skills, clearer communication, and managing emotions day to day.
Amanda can talk through relationship patterns, family of origin issues, codependency, and commitment questions. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care histories, caregiving stress, and fatherhood-related topics. She works with LGBT concerns alongside general mental health needs.
Sessions are held in English. International clients are not currently accepted. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session scheduled through the platform's appointment flow.
How Amanda’s approaches work with online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and taking steps that matter, even with uncomfortable thoughts. It helps people who feel stuck, indecisive, or disconnected from their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful habits and reduce anxiety and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills useful for managing strong emotions and relationship conflicts.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will help you decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. The process is collaborative - you and the therapist check in on what’s helping and adjust the plan together.
Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity during job or school changes and make it simpler to schedule weekday or evening appointments.
