About Amanda
Amanda Marcum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of clinical experience. She works from Indiana and listens without judgment to help people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship struggles, trauma, or addiction. She also supports people facing issues around parenting, LGBT stressors, career strain, ADHD, and major life changes.
Her approach begins with building a dependable connection. Amanda believes feeling understood makes it easier to speak honestly.
Background and approach
She helps people name what’s happening and see small, realistic steps forward. Amanda uses practical methods that match each person’s goals. She blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches.
That means she helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, practice calm focus, and try concrete coping strategies between sessions. She also draws on motivational and solution-focused techniques to help people find direction and keep moving. Those approaches emphasize strengths and quick, doable changes that can reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Amanda usually checks messages three times daily and tends to work mainly during weekday daytime hours. If scheduling is unclear, reaching out by message is encouraged to confirm times.
Amanda aims to create a space where people can share hard things, increase self-awareness, and make steady progress. She welcomes questions about how therapy could fit into everyday life and decisions about next steps.

Online support
Approach-driven care for online therapy
Amanda often combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques. Client-centered work means sessions focus on what matters most to the person and on feeling heard. Cognitive behavioral tools help identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most workable for daily life. Together she and the client experiment with strategies and refine the plan based on what helps most over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video sessions allow for face-to-face conversation when a deeper connection is helpful. Phone sessions work well for lower bandwidth or when not being on camera is preferred. Live chat and text messaging provide brief check-ins, timely problem solving, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain momentum across weeks.
