Amanda Wilson, LPC

Amanda Wilson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of clinical experience based in Mississippi. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family tensions, and challenges tied to addiction or trauma. She aims to make the first step toward change feel achievable and supported.

Amanda creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can share thoughts and feelings. She focuses on building trust and listening closely to what matters most to each person. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with attention to immediate coping skills and longer-term growth.

Her work includes helping people with parenting strain, intimacy concerns, and self-esteem challenges. She also supports those dealing with life transitions, career stress, chronic illness impacts, and compassion fatigue. Amanda addresses family-related issues such as blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care matters, and caregiving stress.

Amanda has experience working with people affected by trauma, abuse, domestic violence, and substance use concerns. She uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as part of her approach when appropriate. Her focus is on practical steps that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Treatment decisions are collaborative and tailored to the person in front of her. Amanda encourages honest conversation about goals, and she helps people try techniques and approaches that fit their life. She offers support through both short-term problem solving and longer-term healing work.

How EMDR and focused methods are used in online work

Amanda uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as one tool to address distress linked to traumatic memories and intense emotional responses. EMDR involves recalling troubling memories while attending to bilateral stimulation, and it can help reduce the charge around those memories so they feel less overwhelming.

She pairs EMDR with clear, skills-based work to manage anxiety, stress, and relationship strain. That includes short practical techniques to lower arousal, communication strategies, and steps to rebuild daily routines. Together these approaches aim to make daily life easier to handle while addressing longer-term healing needs.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay useful and relevant.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as specific options are not listed here. In general, online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it easier to continue care through life changes, while the therapist and client decide together how to pace and structure the work.
