About Amanda

Amanda Gibson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Indiana who focuses on helping people move from surviving to living with greater ease and purpose. She creates a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients can process pain, fears, mistakes, and strengths while building practical coping skills.

Background and approach

Amanda emphasizes individualized goals and increased self-awareness to support clearer decision-making, improved behavior management, and more effective stress reduction. With 12 years of clinical experience, she has worked with adults and children across a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, mood and personality disorders, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, and relationship issues.

Amanda also brings personal insight as a breast cancer survivor and welcomes working with people affected by cancer and caregiver stress. Her approach blends Internal Family Systems with client-centered care and evidence-based strategies to help clients find hope, calm, and practical ways forward.

Clients can expect a supportive therapeutic relationship that meets them where they are and moves at a pace that fits their needs. Amanda aims to help people reclaim a sense of peace, self-love, and momentum even amid life’s uncertainty.

Integrating Approaches for Online Support

Internal Family Systems (IFS) views a person as made up of different parts and helps people understand and harmonize those internal voices so they feel less conflicted and more whole; it can be useful for trauma, self-criticism, and complex emotional patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and unconditional acceptance so clients can explore feelings and values at their own pace and gain confidence in their own choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will work with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods over time so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single technique. This allows therapy to remain flexible and tailored as issues evolve.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regularly, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and choose the communication style that best supports progress.
