About Amanda
Amanda Lamont is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida. She brings seven years of professional experience supporting people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with addiction. She centers sessions on individual strengths and practical steps toward feeling better.
Her approach is direct and down-to-earth. She helps clients name what feels most urgent and works with them to build skills for coping and motivation. Sessions focus on realistic goals, clearer routines, and small changes that add up.
Background and approach
Amanda pays attention to trauma and abuse histories and how those experiences affect day-to-day life. She also helps people facing issues like self-harm urges, dissociation, mood challenges, and impulsivity. When concerns involve abandonment, adoption and foster care, or gender questions, she offers a steady, nonjudgmental stance.
Many clients want help with relationships and boundaries; she addresses codependency, family problems, guilt, and forgiveness in practical ways. She also works with people managing drug and alcohol addiction and disruptive mood symptoms such as Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder. Sessions aim to strengthen self-love, improve self-esteem, and reduce shame.
Amanda believes clients carry important knowledge about themselves, and she helps them apply that knowledge toward clearer choices and healthier habits.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building. One approach emphasizes coping skills for stress and anxiety, teaching breathing, grounding, and thought strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach centers on addressing trauma and its effects, helping people process difficult memories, reduce reactivity, and build routines that support emotional regulation. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will work together with each person to identify which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made. Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow for fuller conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can be used when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when a shorter check-in fits into a busy day. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and fit therapy into work, school, or family routines.Frequently asked questions
