About Amanda
Amanda Elliott is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maine with four years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation. Amanda also lists anger among her focus areas and helps clients who want to handle resentment, outbursts, or ongoing frustration. Sessions are conversational and grounded in practical skills.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. Amanda uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect, helping clients name what matters to them. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to change them.
For people affected by traumatic events, Amanda draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to address how past harm shows up now. She helps clients recognize triggers, build coping strategies, and reduce the grip of painful memories on daily life.
Clients can expect short-term skill-building alongside deeper work when needed. Amanda often focuses on practical steps - slowing reactions, practicing new responses, and improving communication. She also supports people dealing with life transitions, grief, workplace stress, parenting strain, and issues such as codependency or feelings of emptiness.
Amanda speaks English and practices in Maine. Her style is direct and plain: she listens, offers observations, and teaches tools people can use between sessions. To start, clients follow the site matching steps and schedule a first meeting.
How Amanda blends approaches for online work
Amanda uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and follow what each person brings. This means sessions often start with the client’s immediate concerns and values, and she reflects those back to clarify what matters most. Client-Centered work helps with relationship stress, low self-esteem, and feeling stuck. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which teaches concrete steps to change thoughts and behaviors. CBT tools help with anger, anxiety, panic, and depression by breaking down situations into manageable parts and practicing alternative responses. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Amanda will collaborate with each client to decide whether to focus on skills training, deeper trauma processing, or a combination. The choice depends on current needs, personal goals, and what feels most helpful in session. Confirm the session formats before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule, and reduce travel time. If video is difficult, some clients prefer audio or brief sessions for quick support; discuss these preferences when you schedule to find what fits.Areas of expertise
