Amanda Lamont, LMHC

Amanda Lamont is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings seven years of professional experience to her work and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression.

She sees each person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are collaborative and down-to-earth. Amanda emphasizes practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

In therapy she helps people name patterns that get in the way and try new ways of coping. That can mean learning skills for anxiety, talking through past hurts, or building confidence to make changes. She also supports people dealing with issues linked to adoption and foster care, codependency, dissociation, and substance use.

Amanda has experience addressing mood concerns such as disruptive mood dysregulation and depression, and she works with people who struggle with shame, guilt, impulsivity, or self-harm urges. She pays attention to how past relationships and abandonment wounds shape current behavior and feelings.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. She helps clients set clear goals and chooses techniques that fit each person’s needs. To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions based on availability.

How evidence-based approaches fit into online therapy

Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skills and problem solving. One common approach focuses on building coping skills for anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step behavior changes that reduce overwhelm. Another approach centers on processing trauma and abuse by helping people tell their story at a pace they can handle and develop safer ways to manage intense feelings and flashbacks.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will collaborate with each person to identify what feels most useful based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try methods, track what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, avoid travel time, and have more consistent check-ins during stressful periods. It also allows for flexible ways to connect that match a person’s schedule and energy level.
