About Amanda
Amanda Alleman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 13 years of work experience and clinical practice as an LPC since 2020. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family and parenting concerns, depression, addictions, grief, and issues around intimacy and sleep. Amanda also lists codependency among her focus areas and works with related problems like boundary difficulty and people-pleasing.
Amanda starts by listening to each person's story and noticing strengths they already have. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and aims to build on what is working. Sessions are straightforward and practical, not full of jargon. Conversations focus on specific patterns and small changes that add up over time.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow what a person brings to the room. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Motivational Interviewing is part of how she supports readiness for change, and Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term goals and next steps.
Amanda often helps people who are coping with life transitions, burnout, or the emotional fallout of addiction and trauma. She also assists with parenting stress, attachment concerns, and grief. When worried about starting therapy, she acknowledges that getting started can feel hard and aims to make the first sessions manageable.
Conversations in sessions focus on practical next steps and skills to try between meetings. Amanda encourages people to notice small improvements and to refine the plan as they go. She invites clients to shape the work so it fits their daily life and responsibilities.
How sessions work
How Amanda brings therapy approaches to online sessions
Amanda commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy means she follows what the client brings to sessions, listening carefully and supporting the person to set the pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and trying concrete experiments to change them, which can help with anxiety, mood, and relationship patterns.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want to change and to boost motivation for taking steps. Deciding which approaches to use is collaborative; the therapist and client review what feels most useful, try approaches in-session, and adjust the plan based on practical results and preferences.
The original biography does not specify online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue work during life transitions. Licensed professionals tailor session frequency and focus to what works in daily life, aiming for changes that are manageable and measurable rather than large, unclear promises.
