Amanda Rabourn

Amanda Rabourn is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with about four years of counseling experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Amanda also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, control issues, and recovery after domestic violence or separation.

Her background includes work in a community mental health agency and in a psychiatric residential mental health facility. That experience shaped how she explains trauma and its effects on daily functioning. Amanda talks through how flashbacks, sleep disruption, intrusive memories, and emotional triggers can get in the way of routines and responsibilities.

Sessions emphasize understanding how past events influence present behavior and building practical coping skills for day-to-day life. She uses a trauma-informed, person-centered approach and works with clients to set clear, achievable goals. Amanda does not present any single counseling method as one size fits all and adjusts focus based on each person's needs.

People meet to talk about concrete strategies for managing anxiety, grounding during triggers, and improving sleep and concentration. Amanda also addresses issues like guilt, shame, impulsivity, and specific concerns such as fertility stress or first responder strain.

She offers sessions in English and practices in Ohio as an LPCC. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's online process.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Amanda describes her work as trauma-informed and person-centered. A trauma-informed approach means she pays attention to how past events affect sleep, memory, triggers, and daily routines, then focuses on skills to reduce disruption. A person-centered approach prioritizes the client's concerns and goals, with Amanda helping shape sessions around what matters most to the individual.

Those two approaches work together in practical ways. Sessions start by identifying the main problems and symptoms, then add hands-on skills for coping with anxiety, grounding during triggers, and improving sleep or concentration. The therapist and client decide together which strategies to try and adjust them based on what helps most. This collaborative planning helps people test different techniques and choose what fits their life.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins during a break at work. Phone sessions can require less bandwidth and can be useful when a video call feels difficult. Amanda will work with each person to find an approach and format that fit practical needs and goals.
