About Amanda

Amanda Potts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania who brings seven years of clinical experience across corrections, crisis counseling, and primary care settings.

Background and approach

She has spent three years working with youth involved in the justice system and approaches each person with warmth and a relaxed, conversational style that aims to reduce barriers to honest communication. Amanda emphasizes a collaborative process, treating clients as the experts on their own lives while drawing on therapeutic tools to support change.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, sleep problems, anger, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue, along with additional focuses such as mood disorders, panic, impulsivity, personality disorders, prejudice and discrimination, and smoking or vaping cessation.

Amanda integrates evidence-informed methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy alongside Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques to help clients identify practical strategies and build on strengths. She frames therapy as a partnership and aims to create a welcoming space where people can explore goals and develop skills for managing life’s challenges.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. She also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) which emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for managing intense emotions and impulsivity.

She views choosing a therapeutic approach as a collaborative process and will work with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and needs. That conversation guides how CBT, DBT, mindfulness practices, or solution-focused strategies are combined to create a plan that feels realistic and relevant for each person.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for differing schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from Pennsylvania without requiring travel, and they allow for ongoing skill practice and check-ins between appointments.
