Amanda Bruns , LPC, LPCC

Amanda Bruns is a licensed counselor who brings a thoughtful, strengths-based approach to work with adolescents, adults, and families. She holds LPC and LPCC credentials - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - and draws on 12 years of experience to support people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship difficulties, and challenges with emotional regulation and life transitions.

Her practice is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and curiosity. Amanda prioritizes meeting clients where they are, listening closely to each person and tailoring therapeutic work to align with individual strengths and goals. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build coping skills, process relational wounds, and navigate the practical and emotional shifts that come with major life changes.

Amanda aims to create a collaborative space where clients can explore patterns, develop new strategies, and move toward clearer priorities and healthier relationships. She approaches each case with flexibility, adapting methods to fit the needs of adolescents, adults, and family systems rather than relying on a single formula.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Accessible Online Care

Amanda Bruns draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each client's needs. One common approach she uses focuses on skills-based interventions that teach practical strategies for managing anxiety, improving mood, and regulating emotions - these methods help clients identify unhelpful patterns and build more effective coping responses. Another area of focus is trauma-informed work, which emphasizes safety, stabilization, and gradual processing of traumatic or relational wounds to support healing and clearer interpersonal functioning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Amanda works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adjusts techniques as progress unfolds so the work fits each person and family system.

Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent care around daily schedules and geographic limits. These options offer flexibility for busy families, adolescents, and adults who benefit from regular contact and adaptable session types while working toward meaningful change with a licensed professional.
