About Amanda
Amanda Mills is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and issues tied to life changes.
Background and approach
Amanda aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so people can see real shifts in day-to-day life. Amanda earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health from John Carroll University after studying psychology at Taylor University.
She has spent eight years working across different settings, including inpatient care, intensive outpatient programs, outpatient groups, and independent practice. Those experiences shape how she plans treatment and sets realistic goals.
In sessions Amanda uses conversation and practical skills. She draws on approaches such as the Gottman Method for relationship work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build meaningful action, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thought patterns.
She tailors those methods to each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Amanda also works with concerns like grief, addiction, intimacy-related issues, and caregiver stress.
Additional focuses include adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, attachment and codependency, communication and commitment problems, and fatherhood issues. She can support people navigating divorce, family of origin issues, and career-related stress.
Sessions are available in English and take place online using video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to the therapist’s availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Amanda uses the Gottman Method in relationship work, which focuses on improving communication, reducing conflict, and rebuilding connection through concrete exercises and conversations that couples can practice outside sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them, accept difficult feelings, and take small steps toward a values-driven life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and helps people create more supported ways of relating to others.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will discuss your goals and try a few methods to see what feels most useful. Together you will shape a plan that matches your needs, preferences, and the pace you want to move at.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or fit short conversations into a busy day. These options let people access care around work, caregiving, and distance barriers while working with licensed professionals and therapists to move toward their goals.
