About Amanda
Amanda Ulmer is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a focus on helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, low self esteem, or relationship strain. She brings a calm, respectful presence and aims to help clients build confidence and manage strong emotions. Amanda holds LPC-MH and LPC credentials and practices in South Dakota.
Her approach centers on understanding patterns that came from past relationships and life events. She uses attachment-informed work to look at how early bonds affect current connections. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes.
In sessions, Amanda keeps the work practical. Sessions often involve talking through recent struggles, noticing emotions, and practicing small skills for coping and communication. She emphasizes clear, realistic steps people can try between appointments to build momentum.
With six years of experience, she has supported people dealing with parenting stress, caregiver burden, body image concerns, and major life transitions like separation or divorce. She also works with issues such as codependency, guilt and shame, and family-of-origin problems.
Amanda aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can name what’s hard and try new ways of responding. She invites people to bring questions about goals and goals are revisited as therapy progresses.
