About Amanda
Amanda Reid is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in South Carolina with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, ADHD, anger, self-esteem struggles, parenting strains, bipolar symptoms, and life changes. Amanda also lists family-of-origin concerns such as attachment issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care, and blended family stress among her focus areas.
She uses practical, skills-based methods in sessions. That includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking, Dialectical Behavior Therapy to build emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and Client-Centered work that emphasizes the person's own goals. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people want help making difficult behavioral changes.
Before her current role Amanda worked as a substance abuse counselor and in both group home and hospital settings. That background informs her approach to addictions and co-occurring concerns. She emphasizes building coping skills, grounding strategies, and routines that can be used between sessions.
In a typical appointment Amanda will focus on concrete steps clients can try right away. She helps people reframe patterns that trace back to early family roles and expectations and practice new ways of responding. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with time spent on skill practice and planning for real-life situations.
Amanda aims to help people strengthen thinking habits and coping resources so daily life feels more manageable. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How Amanda's approaches translate to online work
Amanda often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and testing thoughts and beliefs that lead to upsetting feelings, then trying different behaviors to get new results. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and changing habits. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help when feelings feel overwhelming and communication is difficult.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions are guided by the person's goals and pace. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and choose methods to try together, adjusting as they go.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows practice of skills between sessions in the client's everyday settings. Amanda will discuss which format makes sense during the matching and scheduling steps.
