About Amanda
Amanda Wilson is a licensed professional counselor with 21 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family concerns. She focuses on practical support for everyday struggles. Amanda aims to make the first step feel manageable and nonthreatening for someone who is unsure what to expect.
Amanda creates a calm, open environment where clients can name difficult thoughts and feelings. She listens without judgment and helps people find small steps that lead to better coping.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on concrete strategies and real-life changes rather than jargon or long lectures. Her work includes supporting people through loss, addiction concerns, anger, intimacy issues, parenting strains, career transitions, and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar challenges. Amanda also addresses related topics like abandonment, attachment issues, blended family stress, caregiving burdens, and communication problems.
Amanda uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, when clients and she decide it fits the issue being addressed. EMDR is offered as one tool among others and is introduced at a pace that suits each person. She is based in Mississippi and conducts counseling in English.
Amanda also uses telehealth methods and has training in tele-mental health counseling to make sessions easier to attend for people with busy or complicated schedules.

Online support
How EMDR and remote sessions can work together
Amanda uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, as one option when trauma or disturbing memories are central to someone's concerns. EMDR involves focusing on upsetting memories while guided attention is provided to reduce emotional intensity and promote new, calmer perspectives. It is applied carefully and only when a client and therapist agree it fits the work.In addition to trauma-focused work, Amanda emphasizes straightforward talk therapy to address stress, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, and mood concerns. These conversations focus on identifying practical coping steps, improving communication patterns, and easing day-to-day strain. Deciding which approach to use is a team effort between the therapist and the client, based on current needs, goals, and what feels most comfortable.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation from wherever they are, phone calls work well when video bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy lives and to continue care after relocation or schedule changes.
