About Amanda
Amanda Lovin is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with nine years of practice. She works with adults around stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, depression, self-esteem, and related struggles such as guilt and shame.
Amanda draws on several evidence-based approaches to help people unpack painful feelings. She uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice what matters to them and take values-based steps even when feelings are hard.
Attachment-based work is part of how she looks at relationship patterns and the ways early bonds shape how people relate now. Dialectical behavior methods are used when emotion regulation and intense reactions get in the way of daily life. Her client-centered stance keeps sessions focused on each person's concerns and goals.
In practical sessions she will talk through current problems, offer skills to try between meetings, and revisit what is or isn't helping. She also addresses specific topics such as codependency, abandonment fears, commitment or control issues, and intimacy-related concerns. Amanda has experience supporting people dealing with first responder and veteran-related stress, addictions, dissociation, and compassion fatigue.
Her work combines direct skill teaching with collaborative problem solving. People looking to explore guilt, make different choices in relationships, or manage anxiety and substance issues can expect clear, concrete tools and ongoing discussion about what fits their life.
How Amanda uses practical approaches online
Amanda works with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) in plain, practical ways. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then testing new ways of thinking or acting to see if they change how you feel. ACT teaches noticing emotions and choosing values-based steps even when feelings are strong; it can help with guilt, shame, anxiety, and motivation.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and how early connections influence current reactions. Together, the therapist and the person figure out which approach or mix fits best based on the concerns, goals, and what feels doable. That choice is collaborative and can shift as work moves forward.
