About Amanda
Amanda Brumfield is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor with 22 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and life transitions. She works with adults who want practical ways to cope and clearer thinking about next steps. Her approach is calm and direct, aimed at making everyday life feel more manageable.
She focuses on building a respectful, accepting relationship first. That creates room to look at what is causing distress and what gets in the way of change.
Background and approach
Sessions often include straightforward strategies to reduce worry, organize daily routines, and improve sleep and mood. Amanda uses a few well-known methods to tailor care to each person. She draws on client-centered work to follow the person's priorities, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and habits, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity.
She also incorporates dialectical skills and EMDR when trauma or intense emotional swings are present. Her years of practice include supporting people with mood disorders, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to military service. She pays attention to patterns such as codependency, avoidant or dependent tendencies, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Amanda aims to help people build small, practical steps that add up. She helps set clear, achievable goals and adjusts the work as needs change. Her style is steady, empathic, and focused on real-life results.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Amanda uses client-centered work to follow each person's goals and priorities, creating room for them to lead the pace of therapy. That approach helps when someone needs emotional support and practical problem solving rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new routines. CBT offers clear tools for reducing anxiety, improving sleep, and managing mood. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are added when emotion regulation and strong reactivity are central concerns, giving people concrete techniques for distress tolerance and better relationship communication.
Choosing the right method is part of the work. The therapist and client discuss goals, try approaches, and adjust what they do together based on what helps most. This collaborative process makes it easier to tailor sessions to attention differences, trauma history, or mood instability.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and teaching new skills. Phone can be easier when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when shorter touchpoints fit a busy day. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit into everyday life.
