About Amanda

Amanda Evans Powell is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Maine who brings 16 years of professional practice to her work supporting people navigating stress, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, ADHD-related focus concerns, and mood difficulties such as depression.

Background and approach

She draws on extensive experience helping clients with motivation, confidence, grief, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, and a wide array of related concerns including attachment and body image struggles. Her approach centers on a respectful, client-focused stance that treats each person as the expert on their own story while highlighting strengths to build on.

She combines client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to help people develop practical skills for managing impulsivity, panic symptoms, communication problems, caregiver stress, and other day-to-day challenges. Amanda frames the therapeutic process as a collaborative journey and offers support aimed at increasing resilience, clarity, and a greater sense of purpose.

Approaches that inform online care and practical skills

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening deeply and shaping the work around the client’s own goals and experiences, helping people feel understood and building on their existing strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with strategies that reduce anxiety, impulsivity, and mood symptoms; it is useful for challenges like panic, ADHD-related concentration problems, and depression.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will work collaboratively to determine what methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. This shared decision-making lets the work adapt over time as priorities and circumstances change.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity of care across busy routines. These formats allow licensed professionals to teach mindfulness exercises, practice CBT skills, and hold client-centered conversations in ways that fit different lifestyles and accessibility needs.
