About Amanda
Amanda Winn is a licensed clinical social worker in Indiana with six years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Amanda works in a straightforward, respectful way and trusts that each person knows their own story best.
She combines Client-Centered principles with practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. In sessions she listens first, then helps people try small changes to reduce symptoms and feel more in control.
Background and approach
She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to support goals like reducing substance use or improving coping skills. Amanda often helps people dealing with grief, parenting strain, eating and body image issues, and the ups and downs of mood disorders such as bipolar and depression.
She also supports those facing relationship and communication problems, attachment questions, and the effects of adoption or foster care experiences. Her work addresses impulsivity, obsessive thoughts or compulsions, panic attacks, and problems related to anger, guilt, or shame. Amanda pays attention to career stress, compassion fatigue, and navigating life changes.
She aims to make sessions practical and usable between visits. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a time that fits their calendar.
How Amanda blends approaches for online care
Amanda uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful relationship and follow the person’s lead. This approach focuses on listening, understanding what matters most, and letting the client guide goals and priorities.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. CBT offers concrete tools to test unhelpful thoughts, reduce anxiety, and change patterns that keep problems going.
Finding the right approach is part of working together. Amanda will talk through goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on how each person responds. The client and therapist decide together what feels most useful over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone can be simpler if bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy schedules while still focusing on practical change.
