Amanda Mills, LPCC

Amanda Mills is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who helps people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, depression, and life transitions. She works with individuals who face addiction, grief, identity questions, caregiving strain, and intimacy or communication challenges. Amanda aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can talk about what matters most to them.

She earned a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health from John Carroll University and a bachelor's in psychology from Taylor University. Amanda has eight years of clinical experience across inpatient care, intensive outpatient programs, outpatient groups, and private practice. That range has exposed her to different kinds of distress and recovery pathways.

Amanda draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify values and build life directions, and Attachment-Based ideas to address relationship patterns rooted in early connections.

Sessions are practical and goal-focused. Clients can expect conversations that lead to manageable steps and skills to use between meetings. Amanda emphasizes clear communication, problem-solving, and rebuilding routines after loss or big change.

She works in Ohio and conducts therapy in English. Amanda invites people to share their story, set realistic goals, and try approaches that fit their needs.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online work

Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) often in her practice. CBT helps people identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that feed anxiety or low mood, using practical exercises and homework. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and learning how to act toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise.

She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at recurring relationship patterns that began early in life. That approach helps people notice how connection styles affect current partnerships and communication, and it guides experiments in relating differently in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation. If something doesn’t feel helpful, adjustments are made together so the work stays useful and relevant.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into busy days. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use skills learned in therapy in their everyday environment. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, ACT, and attachment-based exercises to remote work while keeping sessions practical and goal oriented.
