About Amanda
Amanda Mills, LPCC, holds an Ohio LPCC license and has eight years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addictions, and mood issues using the approaches she lists, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Amanda describes her work as collaborative and focused on identifying goals and practical steps toward them.
Amanda earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health from John Carroll University and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Taylor University. Her clinical background includes inpatient care, intensive outpatient programs, outpatient group work, and private practice. Those settings informed her approach to crisis stabilization, coping skills, and longer-term therapy.
She uses a mix of methods in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-based action and managing difficult emotions. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies and attachment-focused ideas when helpful.
Amanda notes experience with substance use concerns and mood disorders. She lists additional focuses such as adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and fatherhood issues. She works with individuals and with couples, and mentions working with people aged 14 and up in her original biography.
Sessions emphasize clear goals and practical skills. Amanda invites clients to identify what matters to them and to try small, measurable steps between sessions. Progress is reviewed regularly and methods are adjusted as needed.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online care
Amanda works with tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals, past experiences, and preferences to decide which methods to emphasize. That collaboration guides whether ACT, CBT, DBT strategies, or attachment-focused techniques are used in sessions.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can assign short between-session exercises, worksheets, and behavioral experiments that fit into everyday life and are easy to follow up on during virtual appointments.
