About Amanda
Amanda Carter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. She brings 16 years of experience helping people facing anxiety, grief, addiction, and other life disruptions. Amanda takes a direct, compassionate approach that aims to make therapy understandable and useful for busy parents.
Amanda centers sessions on the person rather than the problem. She listens first and helps people set clear, manageable goals. Many clients come with stress, depression, trauma, phobias, or relationship and intimacy concerns, and she focuses on what matters most to each individual.
Background and approach
Her work commonly blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques. That mix helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try different behaviors in real life. Amanda also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a method she employs when trauma memories or intense distress interfere with day-to-day functioning.
She has supported people through chronic illness, cancer, hospice and end-of-life matters, immigration stress, and recovery from process and sex-related addictions. Amanda also helps clients dealing with career transitions, midlife questions, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Therapy sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
International clients are accepted, and Amanda asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started. Scheduling is arranged around the client’s needs and availability.
How Amanda’s Approaches Work Online
Amanda blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR to address anxiety, trauma, phobias, and related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding each person’s experience, and letting the client guide goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and test unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used when past traumatic memories cause strong reactions; it involves guided processing that can lessen the emotional intensity of those memories.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will talk with each person about their history, goals, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for in-depth work, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and travel.
