About Amanda
Amanda Brumfield is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 22 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and major life changes. Her work often focuses on rebuilding self-worth, managing mood symptoms, and reducing overwhelming stress.
She creates a space where clients can speak honestly about isolation, grief, relationship strain, or addiction. Sessions emphasize empathy and practical steps people can use between meetings. Amanda listens first, then helps set clear, manageable goals.
Amanda draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s lead. She mixes cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and dialectical skills to manage strong emotions. She also uses EMDR and mindfulness approaches when appropriate for trauma and stress.
Her background includes long experience with mood disorders, trauma and abuse, substance concerns, and life transitions. She has worked with veterans and people facing parenting or career strain. Amanda focuses on helping people find steady coping strategies and a clearer sense of purpose.
If someone struggles with codependency, avoidant or dependent personality patterns, or feelings of emptiness and shame, she can help them name those patterns and practice different choices. Amanda aims to help people reconnect to what matters and take small steps toward change.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Amanda uses client-centered therapy to follow each person’s priorities and pace; this approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping clients find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thought patterns and practice different ways of thinking and behaving that reduce anxiety and low mood.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, skills to help manage intense emotions and improve distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. These methods are commonly used for mood regulation, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and coping with strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will discuss options with each person, try different strategies, and adjust plans based on how well they fit the client's goals and day-to-day life. The choice of approach is based on needs, preferences, and progress rather than a fixed method.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy into a busy schedule, allows for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduces time spent traveling. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions to match your routine and goals.
