Amanda Winn

Amanda Winn is a licensed clinical social worker in Indiana with six years of experience. She centers sessions on each person's strengths and perspectives. Amanda works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and challenges around eating and body image. She also helps those dealing with addiction, trauma, and relationship or parenting strain.

In session she takes a straightforward, respectful approach. She listens first and helps people clarify what matters most. From there she offers practical strategies to manage symptoms and build routines that fit daily life. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings as well as talking through hard experiences.

Amanda draws on several practical methods, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior ideas. She uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools when helpful to set goals and track progress. Treatment is tailored to the person’s needs rather than applied the same way for everyone.

Her background includes work with people affected by trauma, domestic violence, and addiction, and she brings that experience into short- and longer-term care. Amanda emphasizes collaborative planning so each person knows the next steps. If you want a clear, compassionate clinician who values your voice, she may be a good match.

How Amanda’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Amanda uses client-centered methods to make sessions feel focused on each person’s story. That means she listens to what you want to change and follows your lead while offering guidance and feedback. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and shift the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and eating concerns.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy ideas to teach concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. These skills are practical and can be practiced between meetings to help with mood swings, impulsivity, or intense emotions. Choosing which approach to use is a shared decision. The therapist will work with the client to pick methods that match goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats before booking to confirm what is currently offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in everyday settings and bring real-life examples into conversation without needing to travel.
