About Amanda
Amanda Wilson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 21 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and relationship or family concerns. She aims to make the first step toward change feel reachable and supported.
She creates a straightforward, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through hard feelings. Sessions focus on listening first, then building practical steps to cope with daily life. She emphasizes clear communication and realistic goals so progress feels tangible.
Background and approach
Amanda uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, when past trauma or painful memories are part of the problem. She explains the process plainly and adapts the work to each person’s pace and comfort level. Her approach is collaborative.
She partners with clients to identify what matters most and to try strategies that fit their routines. That may include breathing and grounding skills, communication practice, or changes in daily habits to reduce stress and reactivity. Over two decades of practice have given her experience with a wide range of issues, including addiction, depression, parenting strain, and caregiving stress.
She also supports people facing life transitions like divorce, illness, or loss. Amanda keeps therapy practical and focused on what helps in everyday life.

How EMDR and online sessions can help with distress
Amanda uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, to address disturbing memories and the strong emotions tied to them. EMDR combines guided attention with processing techniques to reduce the intensity of painful memories and their impact on daily life.She pairs EMDR with straightforward coping tools like breathing, grounding, and communication practice. These tools help manage anger, anxiety, or stress while processing past events. The therapist and client decide together whether EMDR or other strategies are the best fit based on symptoms and goals.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist see nonverbal cues and work closely through EMDR protocols when appropriate. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing skill practice, and flexible support between longer sessions.
Amanda treats finding the right method as a collaborative process. She will talk through options, try approaches at a comfortable pace, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep consistent momentum toward goals.
