About Amanda
Amanda Carter is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and trauma. She works with individuals facing depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges like chronic illness or cancer. Her style is straightforward and person-focused, with an emphasis on listening and building trust first.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions grounded in each person's experience. That means the conversation starts where the client is, and goals are set together.
Background and approach
Amanda also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice new coping skills in everyday life. For people recovering from disturbing memories or severe trauma, she incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. EMDR is used alongside other approaches when it fits the client's needs and readiness.
Amanda makes treatment decisions collaboratively rather than relying on a single method. Over 16 years in the field, she has worked with many different concerns, including process addictions, post-traumatic stress, and end-of-life issues. She understands how grief, guilt, and shame can shape daily life and offers practical steps to reduce their hold.
Amanda offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Her goal is to create a steady, practical path forward so people feel clearer about their next steps and more able to carry them out.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Amanda commonly combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to create practical, individualized care. Client-Centered Therapy means sessions begin with the client's current concerns and goals, and the therapist listens closely to what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new ways of coping, which can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems.She also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for clients processing traumatic memories. EMDR is used when a person and the therapist agree it fits their goals and readiness, and it is integrated with other approaches rather than standing alone. Choosing the right approach is a team effort - the therapist will talk through options and adjust methods based on the client's needs, preferences, and progress.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexible ways to connect. Video lets people keep face-to-face contact, phone works when bandwidth is limited, chat or text can suit quick check-ins or days when typing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while still working with a licensed professional.
