About Amanda
Amanda Fisher is a licensed counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with ten years of clinical experience. She offers calm, practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. Amanda aims to help people find clearer ways to cope and move forward.
Amanda focuses on building an open space where clients can share thoughts and feelings without judgment. She blends Narrative Therapy with client-centered listening and practical tools to address day-to-day problems.
Background and approach
Sessions often include goal-setting and steps to try between meetings. Her background includes work in residential and community settings where she met people facing crisis, trauma, and loss. That experience shaped how she responds to safety concerns and sudden changes in life circumstances.
Amanda has supported people through grief, trauma resolution, and complex family patterns. She has also provided therapy in faith-based settings and brings awareness of spiritual perspectives when clients want to include them. Amanda believes therapy works best when it is a joint effort - she helps clients set goals and chooses approaches together based on what feels right.
Practical skills Amanda uses include thinking through unhelpful patterns, shaping new habits, and focusing on short-term solutions when useful. She works with individuals and couples to improve communication, rebuild intimacy, and manage stress. Her style is direct, compassionate, and goal-oriented.

Online session options
How Amanda’s approaches work online
Amanda frequently draws on Narrative Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide online work. Narrative Therapy helps people notice the stories they tell about themselves and then reframe those stories in ways that reduce shame or self-blame. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply and following the client’s priorities so sessions reflect their values and goals.She also uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes between sessions. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a team effort - the therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan as needed so treatment fits the client's needs and preferences.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people maintain face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for quick reflections, brief check-ins, or when typing helps someone process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep working on goals between appointments.
