About Amanda
Amanda Alleman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 13 years of professional experience and a focus on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflicts, parenting challenges, addiction, trauma, grief, and related concerns.
Background and approach
She emphasizes clients' strengths and views each person as the expert of their own story, offering steady support as they work through difficult moments and life transitions. Her approach blends practical, goal-oriented methods with a warm, client-centered stance that honors individual values and pacing.
Amanda draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside motivational and solution-focused techniques to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, and set achievable steps toward change. She welcomes work on issues ranging from intimacy and sleeping difficulties to career stress, bipolar disorder management, and compassion fatigue.
Amanda recognizes the courage it takes to begin therapy and approaches new clients with compassion and understanding. She supports both short-term goal work and longer-term exploration, tailoring sessions to fit each person's needs while encouraging active collaboration throughout the therapeutic process.
CBT and Client-Centered Care Available Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaching practical strategies to change patterns that contribute to emotional distress; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration, creating a space where clients' values and insights guide the work and where personal strengths are amplified to support growth. Motivational Interviewing can also be used to explore ambivalence and build motivation for change when addressing habits like substance use or other addictive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist will work with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative effort that may combine approaches over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to continue care from different locations within the licensed region. These options support consistent access to licensed professionals and help clients maintain momentum between sessions while using approaches like CBT and client-centered work in ways that fit their daily life.
