Amanda Carter

Amanda Carter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 16 years of experience. She focuses on grief, trauma, and process addictions while also supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people cope day to day.

She centers work on the relationship with the person in front of her. That means listening first, then choosing ways to work together that fit the client’s needs. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact.

Amanda also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, for people who are processing traumatic memories. She blends these methods with a client-centered stance so sessions respond to what each person needs in the moment.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including addiction patterns, anger, intimacy issues, and complications from chronic illness or cancer. She also helps people dealing with guilt, shame, and end-of-life questions related to hospice and end-of-life counseling.

People can expect direct conversation, practical tools, and steady support for decisions and coping. Amanda aims to help clients feel clearer about next steps and more able to handle daily pressures.

How Amanda’s approaches work in online therapy

Amanda often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and responding to each person's needs. This approach emphasizes understanding and working at the client’s pace, which helps with grief, stress, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another method she uses. CBT breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical tools to change patterns that cause distress. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and habit changes like process addictions.

EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is sometimes part of the work for people processing traumatic memories. It involves guided processing to reduce the intensity of upsetting memories and can be useful for post-traumatic stress and deep-seated trauma.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Amanda will talk with the client about goals and try methods that fit those goals. She adapts tools and pacing to what the person needs, and she checks in regularly to see what is or isn’t helpful.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins when life gets hectic. Ask about the specific session options offered so you can choose what works best for your schedule and preferences.
