About Amanda
Amanda Potts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, sleep problems, depression, and trauma. She also supports clients dealing with ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strain, self-esteem struggles, mood disorders, and coping with life changes. Her style is warm, conversational, and nonjudgmental.
Amanda draws on seven years of clinical experience across corrections, crisis counseling, and primary care. She has three years working with justice system involved youth.
Background and approach
She aims to understand each person's situation as a whole rather than focusing on a single symptom. Sessions are collaborative and practical. Amanda treats clients as the experts in their own lives and helps them use their strengths to make change.
Conversations are straightforward and paced to each person's comfort. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and present-moment coping. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help set goals and build momentum between sessions.
Amanda works with people who face first responder stress, prejudice and discrimination, disruptive mood dysregulation concerns, impulsivity, panic attacks, personality challenges, self-harm, and smoking or vaping cessation. She also offers support around women's issues and compassion fatigue. She conducts sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Amanda approaches each conversation with empathy and clear, actionable steps so people can move forward at a manageable pace.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that feed anxiety, anger, and low mood. CBT breaks problems into clear steps and offers concrete tools to try between sessions.She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal responses. These skills are useful when strong emotions or impulsive behavior feel overwhelming. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside these approaches to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress and needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and skill coaching, phone calls are useful when bandwidth or cameras are limited, and chat or text work well for brief check-ins and between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain momentum between appointments.
