About Amanda
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 7 years of experience, Amanda Potts helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, anger, ADHD, trauma and related concerns. She works with issues including grief, parenting strain, relationship and LGBT concerns, mood disorders, panic, self-harm, and smoking or vaping cessation. Sessions are conversational and collaborative.
Amanda’s background includes clinical work in corrections, crisis counseling, and primary care. She also has three years of experience supporting justice-system involved youth. Those roles shaped how she responds to urgent needs and helps people stabilize during stressful moments.
Her style is laid back and conversational. She treats therapy as a practical process. Sessions focus on building skills, identifying patterns, and trying small changes that can make daily life easier. She frames the client as the expert on their own experience and works alongside them to find what fits.
Amanda uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing support present-moment awareness and motivation for change.
People seeking therapy are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Confirm the current session options before booking to make sure they match your needs.

How her approaches are used in online sessions
Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then try practical experiments to change them. CBT often helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep issues, and panic by breaking problems into manageable steps.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can be useful when intense emotions or impulsivity interfere with daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist frames treatment as a collaboration and will help identify which methods match a person’s goals and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made or new challenges appear.
