Getting you to calm.
Hi! I'm Amanda Winters and I utilize a Solutions Focused Brief Therapy to help clients get to more of what they want in fewer sessions
What If Therapy Focused on What Works? Imagine walking into a session and--instead of dissecting your problems—your therapist helps you build a future so real, you can almost touch it. That’s the power of Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).
💡 Why Does This Approach Work? Because it flips the script. Traditional therapy often digs into what's wrong. But Solutions Focused Brief Therap (SFBT) zooms in on what’s right—what’s already working—and helps you do more of that.

**My Background: I have had the privilege of working as a therapist in hospitals, mental health outpatient centers,
nursing homes, with FEMA and as a staff counselor & at US military bases.
I have loved living in the friendly, tolerant and culturally rich city of Austin, TX for over 25 years, following a move from Louisiana. I enjoy exploring our beautiful Texas hill country, hiking and being a life-long learner.

Amanda Winters, LCSW, does not accept insurance directly—but if your plan covers out-of-network providers,
she’s happy to provide a superbill you can submit for reimbursement.
If so, this allows you to work with the right therapist while potentially getting partial or full reimbursement through your plan.
Not in Austin, Texas? Not a problem!!! Amanda provides mental health guidance and coaching anywhere in the world.
Please note: I work with clients 18 years & older
I am inclusive of all backgrounds and orientations.
My pronoun is She/Her

- Spot what’s already improving (yes, there’s always something)
- Make small, strategic moves that lead to big change
- Break free from negative cycles without reliving them
- Create a clear, do-able picture of the life you want
The 7 Core Principles That Make Solutions Focused Brief Therapy Work
- If it’s not broken, don’t fix it.
Only you decide what’s a problem—your therapist doesn’t label your life for you. - If it works, do more of it.
You’re already solving parts of your challenges—this model helps you amplify those wins. - If it’s not working, try something different.
Great-sounding solutions that don’t actually work? Time to pivot. Let’s find what does. - Small steps = big results.
You don’t need a life overhaul. One small step today can create waves of change. - Solutions ≠ problem explanations.
You don’t need to understand a problem to solve it. You just need to picture what life looks like without it. - The language of hope is different.
We’re not here to rehearse the past. We’re here to build your future with words that move you forward. - There are always exceptions.
No struggle is 24/7. Let’s find the cracks in the pattern and widen them.
