About Amanda

Amanda Perkins is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship concerns. She speaks plainly and meets people where they are to untangle hard feelings and find workable next steps. Her style is compassionate and steady, geared toward practical change rather than jargon.

She uses a mix of Jungian ideas and evidence-based methods to support deeper self-understanding and everyday coping. Sessions often focus on identifying patterns, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and building small routines that make life easier.

Background and approach

Amanda blends talk therapy with exercises clients can use between meetings. Her background includes a decade of clinical experience working with trauma, mood concerns, and parenting stress. That experience informs how she helps people manage burnout, compassion fatigue, and the emotional fallout of chronic illness.

She pays attention to life stages and practical needs as well as feelings. Amanda emphasizes collaboration. She helps clients set clear goals, tries different strategies, and adjusts the plan as progress is seen.

Many people come for help with self-esteem, career decisions, or major life changes and leave with clearer priorities and calmer day-to-day coping. Her approach is straightforward and respectful. She encourages curiosity about inner life while also teaching tools for anxiety, anger, and low mood.

People who want both insight and concrete skills often find this combination useful.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Jungian Therapy helps people explore inner symbols, dreams, and life patterns to gain deeper self-understanding and meaning. It can be useful when someone wants to uncover repeated life themes or understand emotional blocks that feel rooted in the past.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and taking actions that match your values. It helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching practical skills to stay engaged in life even when difficult feelings arise.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people connect and react now. This approach supports work on intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and patterns that show up in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan together. That collaborative process helps match insight-oriented work with concrete tools that fit each person's needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit brief check-ins, and text messaging helps keep momentum between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
