About Amanda

Amanda Marcum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with 18 years of clinical experience. She uses a client-centered outlook that prioritizes a strong therapeutic connection and practical strategies drawn from approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness.

Background and approach

Amanda received her Master of Social Work with a focus on children and families from Indiana University in 2007 and has worked across multiple clinical settings with adults, adolescents, and family groups.

Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Amanda also works with issues such as attachment and abandonment, blended family dynamics, communication problems, caregiver stress, domestic violence, and co-occurring conditions.

She emphasizes nonjudgmental listening and increasing self-awareness so clients can find movement on problems that feel stuck. Amanda offers messaging, live chat, phone, and video sessions and typically maintains weekday availability.

Prospective clients are invited to make initial contact through the platform’s matching process and message her to confirm specific scheduling options.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Client-centered therapy places the relationship and the client’s own goals at the forefront, inviting a respectful, nonjudgmental space to explore personal struggles and build self-awareness. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaches concrete strategies to shift those patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness therapy encourages present-moment awareness and practical techniques to manage emotional reactivity and increase calm, supporting work with trauma responses, stress, and self-regulation.

Choosing the right combination of approaches is collaborative work. The therapist will review a client’s needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods over time, using client-centered principles to tailor CBT or mindfulness techniques as appropriate. This means treatment can shift as concerns evolve and as the therapeutic relationship grows.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats allow clients to engage from their own routines, mix scheduled sessions with messaging for day-to-day support, and find a cadence of contact that fits their life and therapeutic aims.
