Amanda Brumfield, LPCC

Amanda Brumfield is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 22 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. She focuses on practical steps that make daily life more manageable. Amanda emphasizes compassion and steady support while people work through painful experiences and rebuild routines.

Her approach centers on listening first and adapting to each person's needs. She uses client-centered methods to offer space for people to tell their story. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools help with patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness practices are introduced when emotion regulation and stress tolerance are priorities.

Amanda also brings EMDR-informed strategies for people processing trauma and painful memories. She aims to help people reduce the intensity of distressing memories and regain control over their day-to-day reactions. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when change feels difficult or motivation is low.

Her background includes long-term clinical work with mood disorders, addiction, and issues tied to veteran and armed forces experiences. She commonly supports people facing grief, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and burnout or compassion fatigue. Amanda helps people build coping skills for sleep problems, anger, and feelings of emptiness.

Sessions are offered in English and reflect her practice in Ohio. Before beginning, people often complete a short matching questionnaire to connect with Amanda and schedule sessions according to her availability.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work

Amanda commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to start. That means she listens closely and follows the person’s lead, helping them feel heard and understood. This approach helps when someone needs a calm, steady space to talk through grief, isolation, or life transitions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that make problems worse and testing new ways of responding. DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving stress tolerance; it can be useful for anger, mood instability, and coping under pressure.

Finding the right fit is collaborative. Amanda works with each person to choose or combine techniques that match their goals and daily life. She will check in about what is helping and adjust approaches over time so the work stays practical and relevant.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skills training to work well in a remote setting so progress continues between sessions.
