More about Amanda

  • 12 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

My name is Amanda Kazee and I am a practicing clinical social worker and addiction specialist. I live in Wilmington, NC and I have been practicing some form of therapy since 2011. My first job was in an outpatient clinic that catered to substance use disorders and I fell in live with the career and the people almost immediately. My purpose is personal, as I come from a family with addiction and untreated mental health and I became fascinated with the why and the who and the how to make it better. I attended University of North Carolina at Pembroke for my Bachelor's and Masters in Social Work and practiced in Pinehurst, NC until I made my way back to my hometown of Wilmington in 2016. I have been at a community mental health agency for six years. I have a special interest in anxiety, domestic violence related trauma, finding self-love and confidence, addiction, and stress management. My therapy style is warm and interactive with a focus on giving clients the space they need to find their own strengths. I like clients to feel comfortable and open both with me and within the therapeutic process, as I feel that is when the best work can be done.

My most utilized approach is meshing a strengths based perspective with cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, and dialectical-behavioral therapy. These will be catered to specific needs and treatment planning.

It takes a lot of courage to seek a more functional and fulfilling life. If you are ready and willing, I am here to support you and help you navigate towards a more empowering life.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Amanda Kazee was very helpful with the situation I was going through. She was empathic and offered some different perspectives of the situation in a kind and gentle way and without dismissing my own experience. She offered practical solutions that helped my anxiety and helped gain self confidence that I could handle the situation at hand. I highly recommend her to anyone!

I can't say enough great things. We've only had 2 meetings and I trust her so much and talk about her and how helpful she is to anyone who will listen. I'm moving to NY at the end of August and am only dreading it because I know I will have to find a new counselor :( !
