About Amanda
Amanda Durham is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Kentucky with 10 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Amanda also focuses on caregiver stress, guilt and shame, social anxiety and phobia, self-love, and questions about life purpose.
Amanda centers sessions on the client’s own experience and strengths. She invites clients to describe what matters to them and what feels stuck. Conversations are direct and practical, with attention to small steps that can reduce overwhelm and restore functioning. Expect a focus on current problems and concrete strategies rather than lengthy theory.
She helps people clarify priorities after big transitions, like job changes or shifts in relationships and health. For someone feeling directionless, sessions aim to identify values, realistic options, and manageable actions. Amanda frames setbacks as information to guide the next step instead of final answers.
Her approach includes working through shame and guilt that often block change. She helps people rebuild confidence by noticing progress and practicing new behaviors in daily life. When addictions are present, she addresses triggers, coping plans, and relapse prevention in straightforward terms.
Amanda’s style is collaborative and practical. She asks questions, listens for patterns, and suggests exercises to try between sessions. Clients are encouraged to test small changes, review what worked, and adjust plans together.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present difficulties and practical steps. Cognitive approaches look at unhelpful thinking patterns and teach ways to test and change those thoughts; this can help with anxiety, low mood, and social fears. Behavioral techniques involve setting small, repeated actions to build confidence and reduce avoidance, useful for social anxiety and rebuilding routines after life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will discuss different methods, hear about goals and preferences, and agree on an initial plan. She reviews what helps and adjusts methods collaboratively as progress is observed.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow regular check-ins after big events. Phone sessions can be simpler when video isn’t needed, and shorter check-ins can help maintain momentum between longer appointments.
