About Amanda
Amanda Wilson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 21 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, anger, addictions, trauma and intimacy-related issues. Her work also covers parenting, self-esteem, career matters, mood concerns such as bipolar and depression, and coping with life changes.
Amanda keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She helps people name patterns, notice what triggers strong reactions, and try different ways of responding. Conversations include problem-solving, emotion regulation skills, and practical steps to reduce ongoing tension at home or work.
Her background includes training in TeleMental Health counseling and in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). She integrates those skills into treatment when appropriate, for example with trauma-related reactions or persistent distress that interferes with daily life. Amanda aims to balance short-term coping strategies with deeper work on recurring patterns.
She also addresses concerns tied to caregiving, adoption and foster care, attachment or abandonment, blended family dynamics, and issues around cancer or aging. Addiction-related and domestic violence histories are part of her clinical experience, with attention to safety and planning.
Practical matters are part of the process. Amanda talks through next steps, session rhythm, and what to expect from EMDR or talk-based work. People looking to manage anger, reduce reactive behavior, or handle relationship strain will find a direct, skills-focused approach they can apply between sessions.
How sessions work
How EMDR and remote sessions can help
Amanda practices approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR uses guided attention and memory processing to reduce the hold that traumatic memories have on current reactions. It is commonly used for trauma, intrusive memories, and ongoing distress tied to past events.She also blends practical skills work with trauma-focused methods. That means sessions can include calm-down strategies, identifying triggers, and skill rehearsal alongside memory processing when it fits the goals. The therapist and client decide together which methods to use based on symptoms, history, and what the client wants to accomplish.
Many people find online sessions useful for fitting therapy into busy lives, cutting travel time, and keeping regular appointments during work weeks. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available online options before booking. The therapist will discuss session length, frequency, and how to adapt EMDR or talk-based work for remote meetings during your first contacts.
