About Amanda
Amanda Schmidt is a licensed professional counselor clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota with nine years of experience. She focuses on workplace and wellbeing concerns such as stress and anxiety, and also helps people navigate addictions, relationship strain, and depression. Amanda aims to meet people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She encourages people to notice small changes that add up over time.
Her approach is collaborative and tailored to each person. Sessions are shaped around the issues you bring, whether that is coping with life changes, caregiver stress, or problems at work. Amanda offers practical conversation and steady support rather than a one-size-fits-all program.
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood concerns, social anxiety, and substance use challenges. That can mean learning new ways to handle difficult thoughts, improving communication, or building routines that stabilize mood and energy. Amanda helps people set manageable goals and track progress between meetings.
People often come for help with forgiveness, guilt, or feelings of isolation. Some look for guidance through midlife shifts, young adult transitions, or workplace stress. Amanda works with these topics using straightforward strategies and empathic listening.

How Amanda Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online

Another approach emphasizes behavioral changes such as establishing routines, improving sleep, and building small habits to reduce low mood and increase energy. These methods suit concerns like depression, seasonal mood shifts, and workplace stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda will work together with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning shapes session goals, homework, and how progress is measured over time.
