About Amanda Marcum
Amanda Marcum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who provides therapy in Indiana and Kentucky. She earned a Master of Social Work degree from Indiana University in 2007 with a specialization in Children and Families, and she brings 18 years of clinical experience supporting adolescents, adults, and families across a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, stress, family challenges, LGBT-related stressors, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationships, and parenting concerns.
Across her work in varied settings, Amanda has found that the quality of the connection in counseling matters deeply. She emphasizes the importance of feeling comfortable with the person you choose to trust with personal struggles, and she approaches the counseling relationship with openness and a non-judgmental stance so clients can share their experiences and be met with acceptance and understanding.
Amanda believes growth can come from difficult seasons by building self-awareness and taking a closer look at patterns that shape relationships with self and others. When someone feels stuck, she sees value in having support from a person outside of the immediate circle who can offer perspective and help create movement in challenging situations. She considers it a privilege to be that source of support and to help clients explore what matters most to them in therapy.
Amanda offers video sessions, phone sessions, live chat, and messaging. She typically checks messages three times per day, seven days per week, and her primary availability is 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Because calendar availability may not reflect all openings, she encourages clients to confirm scheduling details through messaging.

Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Amanda Marcum uses approaches that can be practical and engaging in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can talk openly, clarify what they are feeling, and build self-awareness. This style can be helpful for stress, grief, relationship concerns, and times when someone wants to feel understood while sorting through difficult decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It often involves identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing new ways of responding, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and everyday coping challenges. Mindfulness Therapy adds skills for noticing thoughts and emotions in the moment, which can support steadiness during high stress and help clients respond with more intention.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda collaborates with clients to understand what they want to work on, what has or has not helped before, and what fits their preferences, adjusting the pace and focus as goals become clearer.
Online therapy also makes support easier to fit into real life. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can help maintain momentum between sessions and offer flexibility around work, family, and changing schedules.
