Amanda Winn, LCSW

Amanda Winn is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Indiana. She brings six years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and relationship strain. Amanda believes people know their own stories best and that small steps can lead to noticeable change.

Amanda uses a straightforward, collaborative style in sessions. She listens first, then helps clients spot unhelpful thinking and daily habits that keep problems going. Together they set practical, doable goals to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day coping.

Her work often addresses mood concerns such as depression and bipolar mood shifts, panic and obsessive thoughts, and challenges with anger, shame, or low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with grief, career stress, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue from caregiving roles.

Additional areas Amanda focuses on include adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, body image, eating and food-related issues, and problems with substance use. She also works with people facing communication problems, jealousy, impulsivity, and relationship conflict.

Sessions tend to be practical and goal-focused, using tools drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an appointment based on availability.

How Amanda's approaches translate to online work

Amanda draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to guide online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and helping people steer conversations toward their own goals, which supports coping with stress and relationship concerns. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and day-to-day habits that contribute to anxiety, mood problems, and compulsive behaviors. DBT offers skills for emotion regulation and tolerating distress, useful for intense mood swings, anger, and impulsivity.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Amanda will collaborate with each person to try approaches that fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust plans as progress is made.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people practice new skills in real-life settings and bring real examples to the conversation.
