About Amanda
Amanda Burns is a licensed professional counselor with 15 years of clinical experience in Tennessee. She began her career after earning a Master of Arts and an Education Specialist degree from Tennessee Technological University and completing supervised clinical work with Vanderbilt Community Mental Health Center. Amanda has provided care in outpatient clinics, residential settings, and school-based programs.
Her early work included individual, group, and family support in a special education setting for emotionally disturbed students.
Background and approach
She also helped educators and families design behavior intervention plans and offered outpatient therapy to adolescents and adults at community health centers. For the past eight years Amanda has been in independent practice as a sole proprietor in a multi-provider suite that includes a psychiatrist and psychiatric nurse practitioners. Her caseload has focused on adults and adolescents across outpatient and residential settings.
Amanda uses straightforward techniques to address stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and anger. She also helps people who struggle with addictions, sleep problems, parenting stress, caregiver fatigue, and attention concerns. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy along with approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, client-centered listening, and DBT skills.
Parents and individuals who value clear feedback and practical tools often find her style useful. Sessions typically include talking through current problems, learning simple coping skills, and practicing new ways to respond to strong emotions.

Online support
Approaches that translate to online care
Amanda uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name strong emotions and the patterns that keep them stuck. EFT often focuses on how feelings shape relationships and individual reactions, which can be addressed through reflective conversations and structured exercises online.She also applies client-centered therapy, offering a listening stance that prioritizes the person's perspective and pace. That approach is useful for building trust and helping people feel heard during video or phone sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolbox as well, bringing clear, practical techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to manage symptoms like anxiety, panic, and mood swings. CBT tools often include brief exercises and homework that work well between online sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will review goals, try methods, and adjust strategies together to find what helps most. Amanda uses feedback and small experiments to shape the work.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match daily routines. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction, phone can fit short check-ins or low bandwidth moments, and messaging works for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
