About Amanda
Amanda Carter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 16 years of experience helping people manage grief, trauma, addictions, anxiety, and stress. She works with individuals facing relationship and intimacy concerns, depression, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, and major life changes.
Amanda prefers a client-centered stance in sessions. She focuses on building a clear working relationship and then uses practical methods to help people notice patterns that increase suffering. That often means identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes in daily life.
She frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people map links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. She also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when trauma memories are a central problem. Amanda balances these approaches with a conversational, goal-oriented style.
Her experience spans many concerns beyond trauma and addictions, including chronic illness, cancer-related distress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, immigration-related stress, and coping after disasters. She also addresses process addictions such as pornography, exercise, and gambling, and sexual addiction when that is the focus.
Amanda sees language needs met in English and accepts international clients. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session so she can understand immediate concerns and priorities.
How Amanda blends CBT, client-centered work, and EMDR online
Clients can expect practical use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy online - identifying unhelpful thoughts, tracking how those thoughts affect feelings and actions, and trying different responses in everyday situations. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and habits that keep repeating.She also draws on client-centered work, which focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people set their own goals. That approach supports clearer priorities before choosing techniques. For trauma-related symptoms she uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a method that focuses on processing distressing memories to reduce their emotional intensity.
Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then suggest which approaches to try first. Sessions can be adjusted over time based on what proves most useful.
