Amanda Wilson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 21 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief, and parenting challenges. Her approach is steady and down-to-earth, aimed at making difficult conversations feel manageable.

She creates space for clients to speak openly about feelings and worries without fear of judgment. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear communication. Amanda encourages small, achievable changes that fit into daily life.

Amanda uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, when trauma or difficult memories are part of the problem. She pairs this with supportive talk therapy to address mood, coping, and relationship patterns. This combination is used to reduce distressing reactions and improve emotional balance.

Her background includes professional training in TeleMental Health counseling, which informs how she works with people remotely. Amanda emphasizes collaborative planning so goals are clear from the start. She helps clients set realistic steps and checks in on progress over time.

People turn to her for help with addiction concerns, mood disorders like depression and bipolar disorder, and big life changes such as divorce or caregiving stress. She also addresses communication and commitment issues, codependency, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Amanda aims to guide each person toward more manageable days and clearer choices.

How EMDR and remote therapy can help with life changes

Amanda works with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, which helps reduce the emotional charge of traumatic memories. EMDR sessions guide a person through processing difficult memories so those memories feel less overwhelming and interfere less with daily life.

She combines EMDR with supportive talk therapy to address mood, relationship patterns, and coping strategies. Talk-based work focuses on communication, setting small goals, and building skills to handle stress and anxiety more effectively.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. The plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
