About Amanda
Amanda Carter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 16 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as grief, trauma, addictions, anxiety, depression, and anger. Amanda describes a client-centered way of working and uses practical methods to help people manage stress and relationship strain.
She leans on Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions about the person in front of her. That means listening first, then helping people name what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a common tool she brings in to tackle thoughts and habits that keep problems going.
Amanda also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, for trauma-related issues when that fits the client's needs. She has worked with process addictions, including pornography, and with people coping with chronic illness, hospice concerns, or the fallout from disasters. Practical skills and clear steps are part of her approach.
Sessions focus on everyday problems: handling anger with loved ones, managing workplace frustration, rebuilding after loss, or planning a career shift. Amanda explains techniques and practices people can try between meetings. The work aims to reduce reactive patterns and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her background includes a master’s degree from Richmont Graduate University, class of 2004. She combines long-term clinical experience with straightforward methods. People who choose her can expect direct discussion of problems and concrete options for change.
How her approaches translate to online care
Amanda commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can clarify what they want to change. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to shift unhelpful patterns.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, for trauma-related symptoms when appropriate. EMDR involves structured processing of distressing memories to reduce their emotional intensity and can be helpful for post-traumatic stress and related reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will discuss goals, past experiences, and personal preferences to recommend which methods to try. This is a collaborative decision and may evolve as therapy progresses.
