About Amanda
Amanda Elliott is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maine with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Amanda approaches therapy with a focus on the person's own experience. She listens and helps people talk through what keeps showing up in their relationships, at work, or inside their head. Sessions are straightforward and centered on practical steps as well as understanding patterns that repeat over time.
She uses client-centered methods to prioritize what matters most to the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolkit when thoughts and behaviors are linked to distress. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events are getting in the way of daily functioning.
Many people come because patterns from the family they grew up in still shape their decisions and feelings. Amanda addresses family of origin issues alongside concerns such as communication problems, codependency, fatherhood issues, grief, and guilt and shame. She also supports those coping with ADHD, panic attacks, and compassion fatigue.
Work in sessions often includes naming repeated patterns, trying different ways of responding, and building manageable skills for stress and mood. Amanda encourages small, concrete steps that can be practiced between meetings. The goal is clearer thinking and more dependable ways to handle hard moments.
How her approaches translate to online work
Amanda uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus sessions on the person's priorities and present concerns. That approach emphasizes the client's perspective, listening without imposing a path, and shaping sessions around what the person wants to address. It is useful for sorting out relationship patterns and family of origin issues. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. CBT offers practical exercises and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, panic attacks, and low mood. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Amanda will talk through goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then try methods that fit the person's situation. That collaborative process continues as needs evolve. Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing quicker check-ins during workday breaks. They can also support focused skills practice or a stepped plan for addressing patterns from childhood while keeping appointments manageable.Areas of expertise
