About Amanda
Amanda Elliott is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Maine. She frames therapy around the person in the room, listening first and following each client's lead. Amanda emphasizes strengths and practical steps that help people move past stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with self-esteem.
She uses approaches that suit the person rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Amanda brings Client-Centered Therapy into sessions by prioritizing the client's perspective and goals. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns that keep problems active, and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past hurts are getting in the way.
Sessions tend to focus on clear, usable strategies for coping with life changes, grief, parenting strain, workplace pressure, and emotional overwhelm. Amanda helps clients untangle difficult relationship patterns, including codependency and communication problems, and works on practical skills like managing panic attacks or improving self-love.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Clients can expect a mix of talking, checking how ideas feel in daily life, and trying small behavioral shifts between meetings. Amanda supports people who want to build confidence, set boundaries, and make steady changes without adding extra jargon.
With four years of professional experience, Amanda aims to create a dependable space for honest work. People who reach out will complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.
How Amanda’s Approaches Shape Online Therapy
Amanda uses Client-Centered Therapy to center the client's goals and experience, creating space for people to tell their story in their own words. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, panic, and depressive patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy is offered when past events are affecting present-day functioning, focusing on processing and practical coping skills.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adapt methods over time based on progress, goals, and comfort. The focus is collaborative - deciding together what helps and adjusting as needed.
