About Amanda

Amanda Hollis is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, and anger. She focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. Amanda aims to make sessions clear and approachable for someone juggling work, family, or big life changes.

She helps people who are wrestling with relationship strain, communication problems, or the fallout from divorce and separation. She also supports those dealing with addiction, mood struggles, impulsivity, and low self-esteem. Her work often looks at attachment and abandonment concerns that underlie repeating patterns.

Amanda describes her style as compassionate and straightforward. She listens for patterns that keep problems stuck, then helps clients try different ways of responding. Sessions include learning coping skills, practicing new communication habits, and developing plans to reduce impulsive reactions.

The practice is attentive to faith and to LGBTQ+ experiences, and Amanda aims to hold those perspectives respectfully in therapy conversations. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s situation.

Clients who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started. From there they schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability and the subscription model used for appointments.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in straightforward ways. One approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful patterns and testing small changes in behavior to see what shifts. This helps with anger, impulsivity, and mood challenges by focusing on doable actions rather than abstract ideas.

A second common approach centers on improving communication and understanding attachment needs. This practice helps people see how early relationship patterns affect current reactions, and it offers practical ways to speak and set boundaries with others.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person’s situation. Together they decide which techniques to focus on and adjust them as progress is made.

For practical matters, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when that works better. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and pacing to real-life schedules so therapy fits into everyday routines rather than adding extra burden.
