About Amanda
Amanda Gibson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are juggling stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger, and major life changes. Amanda also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting pressures, mood disorders, and issues that follow trauma and abuse.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on current problems, coping skills, and clearer decision-making. Amanda uses approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior techniques, emotionally-focused ideas, and mindfulness to help people manage strong feelings and behaviors.
Amanda has experience supporting people affected by cancer and caregivers facing long-term stress. She also notes work with autism spectrum concerns, intellectual disability, traumatic brain injury, and co-occurring mood or substance problems. That background informs how she adapts strategies and sets realistic goals.
In session she aims to increase self-awareness and behavior management. Expect short-term skills you can use between meetings, and opportunities to talk through setbacks without judgment. The focus is on clearer choices and calmer responses when anger, impulsivity, or intense mood swings arise.
She works in Indiana and conducts sessions in English. To start, clients are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online option provided on the site.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Amanda blends cognitive behavioral work and dialectical behavior therapy with client-centered principles. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to reduce impulsive reactions and manage anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so the person feels heard while building practical skills.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Amanda will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, problems, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape session focus, whether the priority is immediate coping skills, managing mood instability, or changing long-standing response patterns.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals often use video for full sessions or phone for brief follow-ups; check the available choices and pick what best fits schedule and comfort.
