Amanda Martin

Amanda Martin is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who aims to make therapy a calm, honest place to breathe. She meets people with warmth and straightforwardness, offering a space where it’s okay to stop pretending everything is fine and begin making practical changes.

Amanda focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also addresses attachment issues, emptiness, isolation and loneliness, midlife transitions, mood and personality concerns, and postpartum depression. Her work emphasizes understanding why familiar reactions keep repeating and finding ways to respond differently.

Her style blends compassion with gentle challenge. She listens for patterns, helps clients name what’s happening, and works with them to try new behaviors that fit their goals. Sessions often involve discussing real-life situations, practicing different responses, and building small skills people can use between meetings.

Amanda encourages a collaborative process. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and helps guide decisions about change. Progress is paced to what feels manageable and meaningful for each individual.

If someone has been carrying things alone, Amanda offers steady support to untangle painful patterns and rebuild trust in their own judgment. Her aim is to help people move forward without letting past hurts decide their future.

Evidence-informed approaches and online care

Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach she uses helps people identify and shift repeating patterns in relationships and behavior; this work looks at how past attachments shape current reactions and teaches new ways to relate. Another approach emphasizes skills for managing mood and cravings, offering concrete tools for coping with anxiety, addiction urges, and overwhelming emotions. These methods aim to make day-to-day life feel more manageable and purposeful.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda treats the selection of techniques as collaborative - she will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. The pace and focus are guided by the client’s needs and preferences, not by a preset agenda.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people join from wherever they are located within the therapist's permitted region, helping therapy feel more accessible while supporting continuity of care.
