Amanda Reid, LPC

Amanda Reid, LPC, holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential and practices in South Carolina with eight years of experience. She works on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes using the approaches she lists.

Amanda uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing in her work. She focuses on helping people increase coping skills and use grounding techniques. She also works on practical changes like shifting unhelpful thinking and building better behavioral routines.

Her background includes work as a substance abuse counselor and as a therapist in group home and mental health hospital settings. That experience shaped how she talks through addiction, trauma, and mood concerns. She draws on different methods to meet specific problems, rather than using the same steps with everyone.

In sessions she emphasizes reframing thoughts and supporting self-care. Amanda aims to help people structure a foundation for forward progress. Her sessions include opportunities to practice new skills and plan small, concrete changes.

She also lists additional focus areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, blended family issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, codependency, communication problems, commitment issues, and divorce and separation. People who want to work on these topics will find she brings several clinical approaches to bear and prioritizes practical skills work.
