About Amanda
Dr. Amanda Nicholson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Georgia with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, self esteem, coping with life changes, grief, career concerns, and coaching. She also addresses communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, infidelity, self-love, sexuality, women's issues, workplace stress, and young adult issues.
Her work centers on practical conversations about what is happening now. Sessions often include looking at patterns in relationships and how thoughts and behaviors keep those patterns going. She uses straightforward tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. Clients get concrete skills to practice between sessions.
Dr. Nicholson brings a clinical focus on sexual wellbeing and intimacy alongside relationship work. She helps people clarify values, rebuild trust after breaches, and address sexual concerns and trauma in a direct way. When spiritual or faith questions come up, she helps people navigate how those beliefs interact with sexual identity and choices.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment ideas about how people connect, and methods for improving couples communication. She also uses mindfulness and narrative techniques to shift unhelpful stories people tell themselves. These methods are used to set clear goals and track progress.
Dr. Nicholson works in English and practices in Georgia. For new clients, the usual process is completing a short questionnaire and scheduling an initial session to set goals and a plan for therapy.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Nicholson commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and often includes exercises to try between sessions, which can be reviewed in follow-up meetings. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at patterns of closeness and distance in relationships, helping people understand how past relationship patterns shape current reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means checking progress and adjusting techniques when something is not working for the client's aims.
