About Amanda

Amanda Miller-Hodges is a licensed mental health counselor who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, bipolar challenges, ADHD, relationship difficulties, trauma, and a range of emotional and behavioral concerns.

Background and approach

With 15 years of clinical experience, she helps clients who feel overwhelmed by strong emotions, life transitions, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Her work emphasizes practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while building healthier responses to life’s challenges.

Her therapeutic style blends structured, evidence-based techniques with mindfulness and values-driven work. Amanda draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and guide action.

She also incorporates motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies when appropriate. Amanda holds LMHC and LPC credentials and practices in Florida, offering a collaborative approach that centers the client’s goals and preferences.

Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often useful for clients facing life transitions, pervasive anxiety, or feelings of emptiness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance skills to help manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda works with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and responsiveness to treatment, adapting techniques over time as needs evolve. This collaborative stance helps create a tailored plan rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue care during life changes, and access consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of location within Florida. Practical tools and skills from ACT, CBT, and DBT can be taught and practiced through these remote formats to support meaningful change.
