About Amanda
Amanda Elliott is a licensed clinician who centers her work on evidence-informed techniques with an emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and trauma-focused approaches.
Background and approach
She draws on four years of clinical experience in Maine to help clients manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and self-esteem concerns while supporting changes in motivation and confidence. Amanda frames clients as experts in their own lives and collaborates to build on existing strengths toward practical, achievable goals.
Her practice addresses a wide range of life challenges including relationship and family difficulties, grief, parenting and fatherhood issues, career transitions, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include ADHD, bipolar concerns, panic attacks, eating and body-related issues, and cultural or multicultural concerns.
Amanda brings a supportive, empowering stance that values each person’s story and encourages courageous steps toward greater fulfillment. Clients can expect a respectful, approachable clinician who emphasizes skill-building, self-compassion, and clear, practical strategies.
She aims to create a therapeutic process that aligns with individual needs and preferences while helping people move through periods of isolation, guilt, or uncertainty toward clearer direction and improved coping.
Bringing CBT and Trauma-Informed Care Online
Amanda integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused work into online sessions, using practical skill-building and structured techniques to address patterns of anxiety, depression, panic, and unhelpful thinking. CBT involves identifying thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress and practicing alternative responses to improve mood and functioning. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing traumatic memories and teaching coping strategies that reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day safety and regulation.She also practices from a client-centered stance, which emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration to help clients feel heard and supported while they explore goals. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - the therapist and client will discuss symptoms, preferences, and life context to determine whether CBT, trauma-focused techniques, or a combined client-centered framework best fits the work ahead.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible for people with busy lives or mobility constraints. These options allow ongoing access to therapeutic tools and check-ins between in-person opportunities, supporting continuity of care and practical application of strategies as clients navigate everyday situations.
