Amanda Reid is the real deal. This isn't the kind of half-listening and canned nonsense I've gotten from plenty of therapists. She listens to the actual content of what you are saying and takes notes. She actually has empathy and can express that empathy in a constructive way, and has awesome resources to share to make the most of your time between sessions too. I am thrilled to be working with someone who really makes me feel seen, heard, and understood.

Hello! I am an LPC in Alabama and South Carolina and I go by Mandy. I have a Bachelor's degree from The University of Alabama at Birmingham in Mass Communication and a Master's degree from Liberty University in Licensed Professional Counseling. Currently, I work as an out-patient provider in both states. My certification's are in Motivational Interviewing (MI), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Experiential Therapy (ET). My prior experience includes work as a substance abuse counselor and therapist in a group home and mental health hospital.
I have worked with clients from a variety of populations with depression, anxiety, anger, parenting issues, PTSD, trauma , addiction and ADHD. My hope is to reach my clients where they are and assist them in reframing and supporting themselves through self-care. Increasing coping skills, utilizing grounding techniques and affirming sessions can help guide towards self actualization. I am here as a facilitator and supporter honored to be given the opportunity to assist clients. My focus is building positive cognitive behavioral practices and allowing clients to structure a foundation for a successful and promising future.
I believe in creating a space where clients feel a sense of welcome, belonging, and hope. Compassion and empathy are tenets at the heart of my work and I work to honor both every day. I hope to provide clients with the a safe space and set this intention daily. Therapy is challenging, takes courage and time and I am here to support you all the way.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
