About Amanda
Amanda Evans Powell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Maine with 16 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She also helps with attention and focus concerns often described as ADHD, relationship and family strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and career-related stress.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness techniques to help people notice patterns, test new ways of coping, and try small changes that fit daily life. Sessions focus on clear goals and usable skills rather than jargon.
Amanda treats the person in front of her as the source of expertise about their life. She listens for strengths and resources and helps apply them to current problems. She talks through concrete options so decisions feel manageable and realistic.
In sessions she addresses common issues like panic attacks, depressive episodes, attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, and difficulties after divorce or separation. She also supports people dealing with first responder stress, grief, postpartum and pregnancy-related issues, and questions around life purpose.
Amanda practices in Maine. She offers help in English and does not take international clients. Her method is to work collaboratively and keep the work tied to everyday routines and responsibilities.
BHow sessions work
How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work
Amanda uses client-centered techniques that focus on the person’s priorities and experience. This approach means sessions start by clarifying goals and building on strengths. It is useful for work on self-esteem, life changes, and relationship or family-related stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is often practical for anxiety, panic, and depression because it breaks problems into steps and offers skills that can be practiced between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It can help with stress, ADHD-related focus issues, and emotional regulation by training short everyday practices.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Amanda collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. She checks progress and adjusts techniques as needed rather than sticking to a single method.
Session format options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online session formats before booking. Many people find virtual sessions helpful because they fit into work breaks, remove commute time, and allow focused check-ins that integrate with daily routines. Others appreciate shorter, phone-based check-ins when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Ask about the available session types when you sign up so you can pick what fits your schedule.
