About Amanda
Amanda Carter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing grief, trauma, addictions, and a wide range of life stresses. She also helps those dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and challenges tied to illness or major life changes.
Amanda uses a client-centered approach as the foundation of her work. That means conversations focus on the person's priorities and strengths rather than a therapist-led script. She often combines this with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and practical behavior changes.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is another approach she incorporates for those coping with traumatic memories. She explains how the method works and moves at a pace the person is comfortable with. People who have struggled with process addictions, such as pornography, or with post-traumatic stress may find this relevant.
Her practice also addresses concerns that come with serious illness, caregiving, and end-of-life planning, including hospice support and grief work. Amanda has supported individuals through immigration-related stress, isolation, and compassion fatigue from caregiving roles.
Sessions are conducted in English, and she accepts international clients. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session formats and practical details through the matching process on the site.
How sessions work
How Amanda uses clinical approaches in online sessions
Amanda commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes the client's priorities and perspectives. In practice this means the therapist listens, reflects, and helps the client set the agenda for sessions. This approach supports work on relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, and everyday life decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is practical and goal-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Clients can expect collaborative exercises and homework to apply skills between meetings.
EMDR is used with people processing traumatic memories. It involves guided attention and bilateral stimulation to reduce distress associated with past events. Amanda will explain the steps and progress at a pace the client feels comfortable with.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Amanda will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She treats approach selection as a collaborative decision rather than a fixed prescription.
The biography does not specify which online session formats she provides, so confirm available options before you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel for appointments. Licensed professionals often adapt techniques like CBT worksheets and EMDR preparation to the online setting to keep sessions practical and focused.
