About Amanda
Amanda Evans Powell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Maine with 16 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, life changes, and issues related to attention and focus such as ADHD. Amanda also lists support for grief, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, and feelings of guilt and shame.
She approaches therapy from a client-centered perspective and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness in her work. Amanda treats people as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and noticing patterns that keep old emotions active.
In the room she listens for what the person already knows about their situation. Then she helps turn that knowledge into small, doable changes. That can mean testing thoughts that worsen anxiety, practicing attention and focus strategies, or learning brief mindfulness practices to steady intense feelings.
Amanda has experience across a range of concerns that often overlap, such as attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, and forgiveness work. She also supports people dealing with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and difficulties that come with major life transitions.
Her style is direct and practical. She asks questions, offers simple tools, and reviews progress together. The aim is to make guilt or shame feel less heavy by shifting unhelpful patterns and strengthening what already works.

How her approaches translate to online work
Amanda uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on a person's own strengths, helping people clarify what matters and decide next steps. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and shame alive and practices new ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness Therapy teaches brief attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and help with overwhelming emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean blending mindful practices with CBT techniques or keeping sessions focused on a person's own priorities and strengths.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online work can make it easier to schedule short check-ins, fit sessions into a busy day, or choose a format that suits technical limits such as lower bandwidth or no video. Ask about the available session options when you follow the site steps to set up a first meeting.
