Amanda Rabourn, LPCC

Amanda Rabourn is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio who uses a trauma-informed, person-centered approach. She focuses on helping people manage the day-to-day effects of stress, anxiety, trauma, and compassion fatigue. Her style is gentle and goal-focused, with an emphasis on practical coping skills for everyday life.

Amanda brings almost four years of clinical experience from work in a community mental health agency and a psychiatric residential mental health facility. That background shaped how she talks about trauma and its real effects on sleep, memories, and emotional triggers. Sessions focus on understanding how past events affect current functioning and on small, usable strategies to improve daily routines.

People usually come to her with struggles like intrusive memories, trouble sleeping, heightened reactivity, and low self-esteem. She also addresses related concerns such as caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment issues, body image, guilt and shame, and difficulties with communication or control. First responder issues, fertility stress, and relationship separation are also listed focus areas.

Amanda emphasizes collaboration. She helps clients set clear, personal goals and adjusts approaches to fit each person rather than using one set method for everyone. The work tends to be practical and paced to the client’s needs.

Sessions are conducted in English and follow the LPCC scope of practice. People interested in connecting begin by using the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire to schedule sessions.

How trauma-informed methods translate to online care

Amanda describes her approach as trauma-informed and person-centered, focusing on practical coping skills and clear goals. Two common evidence-informed techniques that fit this focus are skills-based coping work and trauma processing support. Skills-based coping work teaches short, usable strategies for managing anxiety, sleep disruption, and intrusive memories; it helps people handle difficult moments and stabilize daily routines. Trauma processing support involves calmly mapping how past events affect current responses and practicing new behaviors to reduce triggers and improve functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and comfort level, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time. It can also be useful when a quieter setting or less screen time is needed, since different arrangements can be discussed to suit a person’s routine and energy levels.
