Amanda Perkins, LMHC

Amanda Perkins is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing anxiety, stress, grief, and life changes. She focuses on clear, practical support so people can manage everyday struggles and find a steadier footing. Amanda works with individual adults on concerns like trauma, relationship strain, parenting stress, and self-esteem challenges.

She uses straightforward conversation to map out what matters most to each person. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, and strengthen self-compassion. Amanda blends approaches to match each client’s needs rather than following a single method.

With ten years of experience, she draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people shift thinking and take values-based steps. She also incorporates attachment-based ideas to improve communication and relationships.

Amanda often helps caregivers, people facing chronic illness, and those navigating major life transitions. Her work also addresses LGBT concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and aging and geriatric issues when these arise in individual therapy.

Her style is calm and practical. She works at a pace the client sets and focuses on skills that can be used between sessions. Clients are invited to set goals and measure progress as therapy continues.

How therapeutic approaches inform online care

Amanda often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings remain.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed to fit progress and changing needs.

For practicalities, please confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or reduce travel time for those juggling caregiving or work. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and communication styles so therapy fits everyday life and supports steady steps toward goals.
