About Amanda
Amanda Evans Powell is a licensed clinical social worker in Maine with 16 years of professional experience. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, or struggling with low self-esteem.

Background and approach
Sessions are practical and focused on small, doable steps that fit daily life. Her style blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy. That means she listens first, then offers ways to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Mindfulness practices are introduced as simple exercises to reduce reactivity and improve attention. Amanda has supported people through trauma, grief, parenting stress, career questions, and issues around identity and self-worth. She also addresses concerns like panic, impulsivity, body image, and caregiver strain.
Her approach is adaptable to where someone is in the moment. People can expect honest feedback and practical strategies. The work focuses on what a person wants to change and what feels manageable right now.

Online support
How Amanda Uses Approaches Online
Amanda draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness to support people over video, phone, chat, or text. Client-centered work means she listens deeply and helps clients clarify what matters to them. That style is useful when someone needs a space to make sense of feelings and priorities.CBT offers concrete techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. It often helps with anxiety, panic, mood shifts, and motivation issues by focusing on what to try between sessions. Mindfulness practices are taught in short exercises to help with attention, reactivity, and grounding when stress spikes.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Amanda works with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. She may try one approach first and adjust based on what feels most helpful.
Online formats make therapy flexible. Video calls allow a face-to-face feel, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports quick reflections between meetings. These options help fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other routines.
