About Amanda
Amanda Alleman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and issues with addiction. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, anger, and life transitions. Amanda frames codependency among the additional focus areas she works with as part of relationship and attachment concerns.
Amanda starts by listening to a person’s story and noticing strengths that can be used in therapy. She writes in plain, direct ways and encourages practical steps people can try between sessions. Her tone is compassionate and down-to-earth, and she acknowledges how hard it can feel to begin therapy.
In sessions she uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants to find internal reasons to change, and solution-focused strategies help set small, achievable goals.
Amanda has 13 years of professional experience and has been practicing as an LPC since 2020. That experience includes work around family dynamics, parenting stress, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, and caregiver strain. She aims to make therapy a practical process that fits into everyday life.
People who choose Amanda can expect a collaborative approach. She helps clients identify clear steps and works alongside them as they try new skills and coping strategies.
