Amanda Gragg

Amanda Gragg is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addictions. She has 15 years of experience and aims to make therapy practical and approachable for everyday life.

Her work often focuses on common struggles like low self-esteem, trouble sleeping, anger, and mood shifts. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, and difficulties related to eating and food. Amanda pays attention to how these concerns connect with isolation, purpose, and self-love.

Amanda uses straightforward tools to help clients manage hard moments. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on Mindfulness Therapy to build awareness and calm. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy guide short-term goals and clearer next steps.

In sessions she helps people practice new communication habits, set boundaries, and handle caregiver stress or control issues. She also addresses substance use and domestic violence concerns with a focus on safety and practical coping strategies.

Amanda trained and works as an LMHC and an LPC in Wisconsin. She tailors her approach to each person, aiming for small, usable changes that fit daily routines and responsibilities. If you want a steady, practical therapist who listens and helps you set concrete goals, she may be a good match.

Approaches you can use in online therapy

Amanda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior by practicing new reactions to everyday situations. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on paying attention to the present moment with less judgment, which can reduce worry and improve sleep.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to clarify what matters most and to help people find their own reasons to change. Each approach is presented in plain terms and used toward practical goals like better mood, improved eating habits, or clearer communication. Amanda views the choice of methods as a collaborative decision and will work with clients to find the best fit for their needs and preferences.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work, school, or caregiving, and reducing travel time so it is easier to keep appointments. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. The therapist will help plan a structure that fits your schedule and daily life while focusing on concrete, usable strategies.
