About Amanda

Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience in Wisconsin, Amanda Gragg helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and life transitions. She focuses on practical steps clients can use right away to manage difficult feelings and daily challenges. Sessions are conducted in English and Amanda does not accept international clients.

Amanda uses clear, structured methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and notice patterns that keep problems going. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete goals and build momentum for change. Those methods guide conversations toward small, achievable steps.

In a typical session she listens for what’s most urgent and then works with the person to sketch out manageable strategies. That might mean tracking sleep and mood, practicing grounding or breathing techniques, or trying new ways to respond to urges and cravings. The emphasis is on skills that can be practiced between sessions.

Amanda pays attention to how past experiences shape current patterns, including the effects of trauma and loss. She helps people strengthen communication, reduce isolation, and clarify life direction without using jargon. Work on self-esteem, body image, and coping with caregiver stress are also common topics.

Practical matters are part of the process too. Amanda’s credentialing is FL LMHC and WI LPC, and she works from Wisconsin. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session.

How Amanda uses evidence-based approaches in online work

Amanda commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include tracking mood, testing beliefs with small experiments, and practicing alternative responses to reduce anxiety or low mood.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach attention and breathing skills that reduce reactivity and improve sleep and stress regulation. Mindfulness practices are presented as short exercises that can be used between sessions to notice patterns without judgment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda discusses goals with each person and helps decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. That is a collaborative process and can shift as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Therapists often adapt techniques like behavioral experiments and mindfulness practice to remote sessions so people can use skills in everyday settings.
