About Amanda

Amanda Gragg is a licensed therapist practicing in Wisconsin with 15 years of experience helping people work through depression, anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions. She builds therapy around each person’s circumstances, combining practical tools and compassionate listening to support change and emotional healing.

Background and approach

Amanda emphasizes realistic, skills-based steps that clients can use between sessions to manage stress, improve sleep, and reduce reactivity. Her clinical interests include addictions, grief, self-esteem, mood disorders, and challenges related to identity such as LGBT concerns.

She also addresses issues like body image, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, domestic violence, and post-traumatic stress. Amanda draws on evidence-informed methods to help clients strengthen coping, rebuild self-love, and find clearer direction when facing isolation or life purpose questions.

Clients can expect a collaborative, respectful process in which goals are clarified and progress is tracked. Amanda’s work blends practical problem solving with emotional understanding, helping people develop healthier habits, set boundaries, and move toward sustainable change.

Practical Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) useful for identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and change behaviors that contribute to stress. Mindfulness Therapy complements that work by helping people develop present-moment awareness, reduce rumination, and respond more calmly to difficult emotions rather than reacting impulsively.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then blend techniques from these approaches to create a tailored plan. That partnership helps refine the methods used over time based on what proves most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support without travel, adapt session length and frequency as life changes, and use between-session messaging to apply strategies in real time.
