More about Amanda
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with extensive experience supporting adults, teens, and military-connected families through seasons of transition, healing, and identity development. I have worked with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, attachment wounds, grief and loss, self-esteem challenges, career stress, trauma, and major life changes. I am also passionate about supporting those impacted by family trauma, emotional neglect, and the complexity of military life.
My therapy style is warm, grounded, and deeply relational. I believe you deserve a space where you can show up fully as yourself - seen, valued, and not judged by a label. My approach integrates cognitive-behavioral strategies with humanistic, trauma-informed, and attachment-based practices to help you understand your patterns, strengthen your inner resilience, and move toward meaningful change. Together, we will build a treatment plan that honors your lived experience and your personal goals.
It takes strength to reach out and choose healing, especially when life has made vulnerability feel risky. If you’re ready to take that next courageous step, I’m here to walk with you - offering support, clarity, and tools to help you feel more empowered in your life and relationships.
I look forward to working with you and helping you build a life that feels more authentic, connected, and aligned.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
