Amanda Gragg

Amanda Gragg is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and mood challenges. She has 15 years of experience and works with clients who want practical tools and steady support during hard times.

Amanda centers sessions on clear, doable steps rather than jargon. She listens first, then helps people identify patterns that keep problems going. Together they try small experiments to change thinking, behavior, and daily routines.

Her work draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. That mix lets Amanda teach skills for managing intense feelings, improving sleep, and reducing impulsive reactions. She also helps people handle addiction, trauma, and problems with self-worth.

Amanda pays attention to how challenges overlap, such as how stress affects sleep or how shame fuels avoidance. She helps clients practice new ways of relating to themselves and others, and build stronger communication habits. Sessions emphasize short-term wins and longer-term coping strategies.

Licensed in Wisconsin as an LMHC and holding a Licensed Professional Counselor credential, Amanda brings a practical, compassionate style to therapy. She encourages self-compassion and steady progress, helping people move from feeling stuck toward clearer purpose and better daily functioning.

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Amanda commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy to help clients manage intense feelings and change unhelpful habits. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting and testing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep issues. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, useful for stress and trauma symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work and happens together. Amanda will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then try the approaches that seem most helpful. That collaborative process means methods can be adjusted as progress is made.
