Amanda Lee , LPC

Amanda Lee, LPC, is a Georgia-based Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma, and major life transitions. She approaches each person with empathy and respect, building a collaborative relationship that centers on the individual's goals and strengths. Amanda blends evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered approaches, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to tailor treatment to the needs before her.

Amanda's path to counseling grew from prior work in law enforcement, where she witnessed gaps in how mental health and substance use concerns were addressed. That experience shaped her conviction that many individuals benefit more from therapeutic support and rehabilitation than from punitive responses. Since moving into the mental health and addictions field, she has focused on helping people recover, develop coping skills, and reclaim meaningful functioning.

She works with a wide range of concerns including PTSD, grief, relationship and family struggles, ADHD, LGBT-related issues, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, and career-related stress. Amanda identifies as an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community and strives to offer a nonjudgmental, respectful therapeutic environment. As a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - she integrates assessment, practical skill building, and compassionate support to help clients pursue fuller, more fulfilling lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Amanda Lee integrates several practical, client-focused approaches to support change and growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing concrete skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and problematic behaviors. It is goal-oriented and useful for people looking for structured strategies to feel better.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. DBT can be particularly helpful for intense mood swings, strong emotional reactions, and relationship challenges where managing emotions is a priority.

Client-centered therapy places the person's experience and values at the center of care, using empathy and collaboration to guide treatment. Amanda uses this approach to create a supportive space where clients' goals drive the work and practical strategies are integrated to meet those goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Amanda works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for schedules and locations, making it easier to fit therapy into daily life and maintain consistent progress with a licensed professional.
