About Amanda
Amanda Grace Hallock is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Amanda also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, control struggles, and feelings of guilt and shame.
She approaches sessions with respectful, sensitive conversation and adapts how she works to each person. In practice that means talking through what led to current struggles, identifying patterns that keep problems going, and trying different ways to respond to difficult feelings. Sessions are practical and grounded in techniques that have research support.
Amanda often helps people who feel stuck by focusing on one issue at a time. For someone coping with addiction or relapse risk, she looks at triggers, coping strategies, and steps to reduce harm. For trauma or abuse, she helps people name what happened and develop safer ways to manage reminders and intense emotions.
When guilt and shame are central, Amanda pays attention to how those feelings affect behavior and relationships. She works with people to notice self-critical thoughts, test unhelpful beliefs, and practice alternative responses that reduce isolation.
She tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person’s needs and preferences. Amanda encourages steady, realistic steps rather than quick fixes. If a person wants to try sessions, she guides them through the process of starting care.
How evidence-based methods work in online sessions
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. One common approach she applies helps people identify and reframe distorted thoughts that feed anxiety and low self-esteem. This approach teaches steps to notice automatic thoughts, test them, and practice alternative ways of thinking that reduce emotional intensity.Another frequently used method focuses on skills for managing strong emotions and urges, which can help with panic, trauma responses, and relapse risk. It includes breathing and grounding techniques, stepwise exposure to feared situations, and practical strategies for reducing harmful behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.
If you plan to meet online, confirm current session options before booking because this profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals often use these benefits to make sessions more practical for everyday life.
