Amanda Wilson, LPC

Amanda Wilson is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 21 years of experience based in Mississippi. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family concerns, and issues related to addiction and trauma. She aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supportive.

She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about hard feelings and painful memories. Conversations focus on practical ways to cope day to day and on steps toward a more satisfying life. She listens for what matters most to each person and tailors sessions around those priorities.

Amanda uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, when it may help process past distress and reduce its impact on daily life. She combines that approach with straightforward talk therapy to address current problems like communication, parenting stress, or work strain.

Her background includes professional training in TeleMental Health counseling, and she applies that experience to support people navigating life transitions and caregiving challenges. She also works with concerns related to aging and geriatric issues when those topics are part of a client’s needs.

Sessions focus on clear goals and practical skills. Amanda helps people identify small changes that add up to better coping. She encourages realistic steps and checks progress along the way.

How EMDR and talk therapy translate to online work

Amanda uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, as one tool to help people process distressing memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact. EMDR sessions focus on guiding attention while discussing difficult events to lessen their hold on everyday life.

She also relies on straightforward talk therapy to address current problems like communication, caregiving stress, grief, or changes related to aging. Talk sessions tend to focus on practical coping skills, problem solving, and tracking small steps toward goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will collaborate with each person to decide if EMDR, conversational therapy, or a mix of both best fits their needs and preferences. This is a team effort that considers symptoms, life demands, and what the client wants to accomplish.

Her profile notes training in TeleMental Health counseling. The specific session formats available should be confirmed before booking, so clients know how sessions will be scheduled and delivered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow check-ins during work breaks, or offer options when travel is difficult, while choices about camera use or shorter check-ins can suit different needs.
