About Amanda
Amanda Alleman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 13 years of professional experience and practicing as an LPC since 2020. She works with common concerns that affect young adults and others, including stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, parenting, depression, and addictions.
Amanda sees people who are dealing with loss, trauma, or changes in their lives. She also addresses intimacy concerns, sleep problems, anger, career stress, and issues related to bipolar disorder or coping with life transitions. She lists work with LGBT concerns, grief, and compassion fatigue among her areas of focus.
Her approach treats the client as the expert in their own story. She aims to help people identify strengths they already have and use those strengths to move past what is holding them back. Sessions focus on practical steps and on talking through the challenges that feel most urgent right now.
Amanda uses methods drawn from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means sessions can include examining patterns of thought, setting small achievable goals, and building motivation to change behaviors that cause distress.
She recognizes starting therapy can feel hard and offers straightforward support without minimizing concerns. The first meetings typically focus on listening, clarifying goals, and figuring out what an initial plan might look like. If you are a young adult handling transitions like leaving home, starting work, or worrying about identity and relationships, she lists young adult issues among the areas she works with.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Amanda draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and on practicing new ways of thinking and acting. It can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress by teaching concrete skills to change unhelpful reactions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's priorities, helping people clarify what matters and make decisions from their own perspective.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That discussion often happens in the early sessions and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue work with a licensed professional from different locations within the therapist's permitted region, while the therapist and client shape how sessions best fit daily life.
