About Amanda
Amanda Alleman is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or family concerns. She works with clients facing parenting challenges, grief, addiction, trauma, and intimacy-related issues. Amanda emphasizes practical support and clear steps rather than jargon. She believes people bring strengths and knowledge about their own lives.
Amanda draws on 13 years of professional experience and has held her LPC license since 2020. Her approach is collaborative - she listens first, then helps set goals that fit each person’s situation. Sessions focus on real-life strategies, small experiments, and skills that can be used between meetings.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the client and to build a trusting working relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and to replace them with practical alternatives. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change by helping them find their own reasons to move forward.
Amanda also incorporates Solution-Focused Therapy elements to keep work goal-oriented and time-efficient. She offers steady, compassionate support for people facing life transitions, career strain, sleep concerns, anger, and complex issues such as attachment or adoption-related questions.
Based in Pennsylvania, Amanda works in a straightforward, respectful style. She aims to make starting therapy less overwhelming and to help clients build momentum toward the changes they want.
How Amanda's Approaches Work Online
Amanda commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working with clients. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping the client lead the conversation so goals come from the person’s own priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and mood problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will collaborate with each person to weigh options, try different techniques, and settle on methods that match goals and preferences. She prioritizes what fits the client's life and adjusts plans as progress is made. Confirm the available session formats before you book, since specific options are not listed here. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during workday breaks or evenings. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and make participation possible when in-person visits are difficult. Ask about the current session options and scheduling to find arrangements that suit your routine.Areas of expertise
