Amanda Carter

Amanda Carter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 16 years of experience. She approaches sessions with a client-centered focus, listening first and adapting methods to each person's needs. She works with common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and anger, and helps people navigate changes that disrupt daily life.

She has long experience supporting people who struggle with trauma and process addictions, including pornography and other compulsive behaviors. Amanda combines a trusting therapeutic relationship with practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as an option for people processing traumatic memories.

In sessions she aims to make the work straightforward and down-to-earth. Conversations cover what’s happening now, patterns that keep problems going, and small steps that can make life more manageable. She pays attention to emotional safety and pacing so people feel ready before moving deeper.

Amanda also addresses health-related and life-stage concerns such as chronic illness, cancer, hospice and end-of-life challenges, immigration-related stress, and career strain. She helps people work through feelings of guilt, shame, emptiness, and forgiveness as part of broader healing and adjustment.

Sessions are offered in English, and she accepts international clients. To begin, readers are asked to follow the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Amanda’s approaches work in online therapy

Amanda uses a client-centered approach that begins by listening to what matters most to each person. This style focuses on building a respectful relationship and adapting techniques to individual needs, which can help people feel heard and understood regardless of the issue.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT offers concrete strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, anger, and depression by changing thought patterns and practicing new behaviors.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is offered as an option for people processing traumatic memories. EMDR involves structured steps to help reduce the intensity of upsetting memories and associated reactions when the client and therapist agree it is appropriate.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Amanda will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level, and she adjusts pacing so people can move forward at a manageable speed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, help sessions fit into a busy day, and allow for different ways to connect when in-person meetings are not practical. Amanda will discuss what will work best for a client’s situation during the initial matching and scheduling steps.
