About Amanda
Amanda Marcum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Indiana and Kentucky with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with adults and adolescents on common concerns like depression, anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, addictions, LGBT stressors, relationship challenges, parenting questions, and coping with life changes.
Amanda trained in social work with a focus on children and families and has practiced in schools, clinics, and community settings. She emphasizes building a trusting relationship so people can speak honestly about what’s happening. In sessions she helps clients notice patterns, increase self-awareness, and find small steps that lead to change.
Her work uses straightforward, skills-based approaches. She draws on client-centered conversation to follow what matters most to the client. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused tools are included for short-term problem solving and stress reduction.
Amanda also uses motivational interviewing when people want to change behaviors related to addiction or health. She offers a mix of message-based support and real-time sessions to match how people live their day-to-day lives. For many, frequent messaging alongside scheduled sessions makes it easier to handle day-to-day emotions and problem solving.
To get started Amanda asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
BHow sessions work
How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work
Amanda commonly uses client-centered conversation to focus on what matters most to the person. This approach means the therapist follows the client’s concerns and helps them talk through what feels important, which can work well in both messaging and live sessions.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT in online work often uses brief exercises, thought records, and homework between sessions to track progress. Mindfulness techniques are used to reduce stress and increase awareness of moment-to-moment experience; these can include short guided practices and grounding strategies that fit into a daily routine.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Amanda will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, current needs, and preferences instead of prescribing a single path. She checks in and adjusts methods as progress or new issues arise.
The biography lists messaging, live chat, phone, and video as formats she uses, but readers should confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for quicker check-ins, and support step-by-step changes between scheduled meetings. Amanda uses messaging alongside real-time sessions for ongoing day-to-day problem solving and support.
