About Amanda
Amanda Carter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. She draws on 16 years of clinical experience to help people navigate strong emotions and difficult life events. Amanda is comfortable talking with people about anger, grief, anxiety, depression, and addictions.
She favors a client-centered way of working - listening first and shaping the work around each person's needs. Amanda also uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
She has experience using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which she applies when trauma memories get in the way of daily life. Her background includes long-term work with people coping with loss, trauma, chronic illness, and process addictions such as problematic pornography use. She also supports clients facing career questions, midlife transitions, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Amanda helps people who are dealing with guilt, shame, forgiveness, and end-of-life concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. That can mean trying small behavior changes, practicing new ways of talking to oneself, or learning grounding tools to manage strong emotions.
Amanda describes the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change and adapts techniques to fit each person's goals. She offers work that blends empathy with straightforward strategies. The goal is clearer thinking, fewer overwhelming moments, and better ways to cope with life's challenges.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online care
Amanda uses client-centered work to start, which means she listens closely and builds the plan around each person's needs. That approach helps focus online sessions on what matters most and shapes practical steps to try between meetings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include short exercises, thought records, and homework people can use in daily life to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or improve mood.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) may be used when trauma memories interfere with current functioning. When EMDR fits the goals, Amanda uses adapted remote procedures designed for online work and guides clients through paced processing alongside stabilization tools.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Amanda will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life circumstances.
