Amanda McLean

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am an individual therapist licensed in Washington State with ten years of experience in therapeutic interventions with clients presenting with a variety of different concerns. These include depression, anxiety, LGBTQIA-related concerns, relationship issues including in non-traditional relationships, and stress-related, motivation, and self-esteem challenges. I have also worked with people with trauma, addictions, parenting issues, and grief and loss. I also carry the credentials of Child Mental Health Therapist and Perinatal Mental Health Specialist.

My style as a therapist is warm, genuine, honest, and casual, as well as interactive. I believe that you are the expert on your situation and come with the ability to overcome challenges, even if it may not feel that way right now. You are capable of making change, and I’m here to help. I believe everyone deserves to be heard with compassion and respect. My approach to therapy combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, and solution-focused counseling. We will work together on your goals and needs and come up with a plan to get there. It’s important to note that I only offer communication via text, including asynchronous, email-style messaging and live sessions, which are instant-messenger style communications in real time.

I am thrilled that you’ve decided to reach out, and I can’t wait to meet you, get to know you, and help you meet your goals.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can deliver meaningful results. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the format that fits their life best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to schedule care around work, family, and other responsibilities.

Therapy delivered remotely is provided by licensed professionals and therapists who use evidence-based methods to address everyday mental health challenges. If the initial match does not feel right, it is possible to switch to a different therapist to find a better fit.
