Amanda Gibson

Amanda Gibson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana who helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their next step. She focuses on everyday concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, mood shifts, addiction, and grief. Her approach is warm and direct so parents and caregivers can understand what to expect in sessions.

Amanda offers a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through hard feelings and recent changes. She listens for strengths and builds goals together with each person. Conversations often include practical tools for coping, managing impulses, and improving decision-making.

She brings 12 years of clinical experience to sessions and has worked with people facing a wide range of problems. That experience includes supporting folks with cancer, traumatic brain injury, intellectual disability, and co-occurring mood or personality concerns. Amanda also draws on strategies to address isolation, caregiver stress, and substance use challenges.

Therapy sessions usually focus on clear, attainable goals and teach skills that can be used between appointments. Amanda uses client-centered work alongside methods that teach emotion regulation and problem solving. She aims to make progress feel steady and understandable rather than overwhelming.

Evidence-informed approaches available for online work

Amanda commonly uses client-centered work that focuses on the person's own goals and strengths. This approach means the therapist listens closely and helps shape sessions around what the client finds most important, which can help with stress, life transitions, and self-esteem.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. CBT is practical and skill-based, useful for anxiety, depression, mood swings, and some addiction-related patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for people who need structure in handling strong emotions.

Finding the right blend of methods is part of the process. Amanda works together with each person to test approaches, adjust strategies, and set achievable goals based on needs and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and manageable.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, require less travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and skill practice to work well in an online setting.
