Amanda Miller-Hodges, LMHC, LPC

Amanda Miller-Hodges is a licensed counselor who helps people navigate anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and addictions. She brings 15 years of clinical experience to sessions and aims to help people manage intense emotions and daily challenges. Amanda works with goals like reducing overwhelm, finding purpose, and improving how clients respond to stressors.

Her approach blends practical skill-building with compassionate conversation. She draws on techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions often focus on learning emotion regulation, improving communication, and interrupting unhelpful behavior patterns.

Amanda has a background in grief work and uses that experience to support people processing loss and meaning. She has also worked in settings that included intensive outpatient programs and group skills training using DBT methods. That experience informs how she structures therapy for people needing concrete coping strategies.

In the therapy room she aims to make change feel manageable. Clients practice small, repeated skills between sessions and review what helps. The work mixes short-term problem solving with longer-term changes to thoughts and habits.

She holds licenses as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Florida and Georgia. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule based on the clinician's availability.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Amanda frequently draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, and it supports building a life guided by personal values. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches specific skills for mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda works together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting if something else fits better.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make attending groups or skills training easier without travel. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and DBT exercises to virtual settings so clients still practice skills between visits. Ask about format options when you complete the matching questionnaire to find what will work best for your schedule and goals.
