Amanda Alleman

Amanda Alleman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and relationship concerns. She draws on 13 years of professional experience and frames the client as the expert in their own story. Amanda aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person’s strengths.

Her approach is warm and straightforward. She listens first and helps people set small, usable goals. Sessions look at what’s getting in the way now and what practical steps can help between meetings. Amanda encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.

She uses methods that focus on present problems and practical change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice thought patterns and try different behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation grounded in the person’s own goals and values. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are used to boost readiness for change and highlight steps that work right away.

Amanda has worked across a range of common life stresses, including parenting and family challenges, grief, trauma, addiction concerns, career transitions, and problems with sleep and intimacy. She also supports people coping with mood disorders and identity-related issues such as LGBT concerns.

Her style is collaborative and compassionate. She helps people name what matters, try concrete tools, and track small wins. Starting therapy begins with a simple matching process and scheduling that fits a person’s timing and needs.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online therapy

Amanda commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, validating a person’s perspective, and helping them set goals that feel meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to see what changes in their mood and habits.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small steps that produce real results. These approaches are practical and goal-oriented, which can fit well into remote sessions where the focus is on what someone wants to change now.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Amanda will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then choose techniques that fit. She adjusts the work as progress is made so the plan stays useful and realistic.

If you prefer online care, confirm which session formats are available before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make scheduling easier, help fit appointments into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time so therapy can better fit everyday life.
