I'm Amanda Frazier, LCSW. My goal is to help people navigate their lives in a meaningful way. We all experience a wide range of thoughts, feelings and emotions with some more distressing than others.

I work with adults and adolescents who feel stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or burned out. Many come for support with anxiety, depression, stress, insomnia, relationship challenges, perfectionism, overthinking, or life transitions, including the hormonal and emotional changes of perimenopause and menopause. My clients want clarity, balance, and practical strategies to feel more in control and confident in their daily lives.

I provide a collaborative, individualized approach using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), positive psychology, strengths-based strategies, and self-esteem/communication coaching. Together, we build practical tools to reduce anxiety, stress, burnout, insomnia, and emotional overwhelm, strengthen confidence, improve sleep and focus, manage emotions, and navigate life transitions.
