About Amanda
Amanda Rabourn uses trauma-informed, person-centered methods to help people regain stability after difficult experiences. She brings a calm presence and a practical focus to sessions so clients can build coping skills and move toward daily functioning they recognize as better. She has nearly four years of professional experience in mental health settings.
That work includes time at a community mental health agency and a psychiatric residential mental health facility. Those roles helped shape her focus on how trauma shows up in sleep, intrusive memories, flashbacks, and emotional triggers.
Background and approach
Sessions concentrate on understanding how past events affect day-to-day life. Amanda helps people identify patterns, practice coping skills, and set realistic goals. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Her main concerns include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses related areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, communication problems, control issues, and grief from separation or divorce. Amanda works with people affected by occupational stress, including first responder issues, and those navigating fertility, caregiving, or past domestic violence.
She speaks English and practices in Ohio as an LPCC. Her background supports a gentle, individualized approach focused on practical steps and compassionate listening.
Approaches for healing trauma online
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on safety, pacing, and practical skill-building. One common approach she uses centers on trauma-informed care, which means identifying how past events affect current thoughts, sleep, and emotional reactions, then developing steady coping strategies to reduce distress.She also emphasizes person-centered work, where sessions follow the clients goals and preferences. This approach involves listening closely, setting small measurable goals, and adjusting strategies over time so the work fits each person's needs.
Finding the right method is a team effort. Amanda collaborates with clients to weigh options and choose techniques that match their goals, comfort level, and daily demands. She checks in regularly and adapts the approach as progress and needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for different schedules and situations. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, skill practice between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and steady momentum in therapy.
