About Amanda
Amanda Wilson is an MS LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Mississippi with 21 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing substance concerns, anger, trauma and intimacy-related issues.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations aim to clarify what is most troubling and identify small steps that can make daily life easier. She listens to what a person brings and helps name patterns that get in the way of feeling better.
Her work includes trauma-focused methods such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. That approach is used when people carry intense memories or distress after abuse or other traumatic events. Amanda combines that work with regular talk-based strategies to handle stress, mood shifts, and relationship problems.
People often come with career pressure, questions about parenting, or feeling behind after big life changes. Amanda draws on two decades of clinical experience to offer steady guidance and practical coping tools. Sessions cover communication skills, boundary setting, and strategies to manage emotions.
She completed training in TeleMental Health counseling and supports clients who need remote care. Before booking, people should confirm the current session options. To start, clients follow the site’s matching steps and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
A common method Amanda uses is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR involves focused attention on distressing memories while using specific bilateral stimulation to reduce their emotional intensity. It is often used for trauma, abuse, and other painful memories that keep reappearing.Alongside EMDR she uses direct talk‑based techniques to address stress, anxiety, mood changes, and relationship problems. These conversations focus on identifying patterns, improving communication, and building everyday coping strategies that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss options with each person and decide together what fits the client’s goals and comfort level. That collaborative process helps choose whether to use EMDR, focus on emotion regulation skills, or combine methods.
Her profile notes training in TeleMental Health counseling, so remote sessions are part of her practice. Confirm the current session options before booking to know which formats she offers. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around study, work, or caregiving duties, and they can reduce travel time and scheduling friction. Phone sessions can be a quicker check‑in when video is difficult, while video allows face‑to‑face interaction for longer therapeutic work.
