Amanda Perkins

Amanda Perkins is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida. She supports people facing anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship questions, parenting strain, and struggles with self-esteem or identity. Amanda brings a steady, compassionate presence and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

She keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. Amanda listens first, then helps people name what matters most and set small goals. Sessions often include simple skills for managing intense feelings, ways to improve communication, and pacing for big emotional work.

With ten years of clinical experience, Amanda has worked with a wide range of concerns. That includes chronic conditions like bipolar disorder and chronic pain, life transitions such as caregiving or adoption, and issues connected to attachment and abandonment. She also supports people facing workplace stress, compassion fatigue, and identity-related issues within the LGBT community.

Amanda draws on several well-known approaches to shape treatment, including acceptance and commitment work, attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior strategies. She tailors these methods to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed plan.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Amanda helps people notice patterns, practice new responses, and track progress in measurable ways. To start working together, she asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions based on availability.

Approaches that shape online work and what they do

Amanda often uses acceptance and commitment approaches and cognitive behavioral techniques in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Amanda will talk with each person about their goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. She encourages collaboration so the work matches what the client wants to change and how they prefer to work.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. That said, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions help them practice skills between meetings and apply strategies directly in day-to-day life.
