About Amanda
LMHC in Indiana with 10 years of experience, Amanda Van Milligan helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, parenting challenges, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and compassion fatigue. She uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and solution-focused methods to address everyday problems and sudden life changes. Amanda writes plainly and aims to make sessions practical and goal-oriented.
Amanda begins by listening to each person’s story and identifying current struggles. She uses client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term goals and build immediate coping steps.
Her background includes work in outpatient and inpatient settings, intensive outpatient care, and hospital and emergency services. That range means she has seen how problems show up across different levels of care. Amanda holds a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC in Indiana.
Sessions tend to focus on concrete skills and realistic goals. She helps people practice communication, manage anger, reduce anxiety, navigate grief, and build self-worth. When parenting or family issues come up, the work centers on the individual’s role and practical strategies rather than systemic interventions.
People can expect straightforward feedback and collaborative planning. Amanda asks about what’s working now and what change would look like. She then helps create steps to reach those aims and checks progress over time.
