Amanda Potts, LPC

Amanda Potts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with seven years of clinical experience. She has worked in corrections, crisis counseling, and primary care settings, and has three years helping justice system involved youth. Amanda lists anger among the issues she supports, along with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, and other mood and coping difficulties.

Amanda uses a conversational and collaborative style. Sessions are relaxed and focused on practical skills. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build from rather than only focusing on problems.

Her clinical work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy, with Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques when useful. That means sessions often mix thinking about thoughts and behaviors, practicing emotion regulation skills, and trying short, concrete steps between meetings.

In practice Amanda will talk through current struggles, introduce short skills learners can apply right away, and set small goals to test what helps. She has experience with first responder issues, impulsivity, panic attacks, mood disorders, and self-harm concerns, and she also supports people dealing with prejudice, discrimination, and compassion fatigue.

Amanda conducts therapy in English and works from a Pennsylvania LPC credential. If you plan to start, follow the site steps to match and schedule a first session and confirm the session formats that fit your situation.
