About Amanda

Amanda Reid is an LPC who uses person-centered, skill-based methods to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and mood concerns.

Background and approach

With eight years of clinical experience, she draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to support practical change and emotional understanding. Her training and past roles include work in substance use treatment, group home settings, and mental health hospital environments, which inform her ability to work with complex presentations.

Amanda emphasizes building coping skills, grounding strategies, and affirming therapeutic work so clients can reframe difficulties and strengthen everyday functioning. She aims to create a welcoming, empathetic space where people can explore issues like depression, ADHD, anger, parenting struggles, and life transitions while developing more adaptive thinking and behavior patterns.

Her practice priority is collaboration - helping each person identify achievable goals and construct a foundation for a more balanced future. Located in South Carolina, she brings a compassionate, client-centered stance to sessions and supports clients as they practice new skills and pursue gradual, meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental stance that helps people feel heard and understood; this approach supports emotional exploration and can be especially helpful for building trust and self-awareness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can aid clients who struggle with intense emotions or patterns of reactivity.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to decide which methods best match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered work effectively to remote formats, focusing on skills practice, grounding exercises, and reflective conversation to support steady progress.
