About Amanda
Amanda Alleman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 13 years of professional experience and licensure as an LPC since 2020. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship and family tensions, parenting strains, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep trouble, anger, career shifts, bipolar symptoms, and related life changes. Amanda also lists coaching and compassion fatigue among her focus areas.
She approaches therapy from a client-centered perspective. That means she treats each person as the expert on their life and builds on existing strengths. Sessions are conversational, practical, and aimed at helping people handle what gets in the way of daily functioning.
Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support change and Solution-Focused work to set clear, manageable goals. These methods are used to help people reduce reactivity, improve communication, and develop coping strategies.
Her background includes work across a range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, addictions, attachment and abandonment issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and substance-related problems. She notes experience with issues connected to autism and Asperger syndrome, dissociation, and disruptive mood concerns.
In sessions she aims to be straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on small steps people can try between meetings. The emphasis is on what clients want to change and on building skills they can use in daily life.
How sessions work
How Amanda uses practical approaches in online sessions
Amanda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help reduce reactive responses and improve sleep or mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own perspective and strengths, guiding conversations so goals come from what matters most to the person.She also uses Motivational Interviewing when change feels difficult. That approach helps people clarify what they want and strengthen their motivation to take small, achievable steps. Together these methods are aimed at actionable skills for handling anger, stress, and relationship struggles rather than lengthy theory sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to test methods, adjust focus, and set short-term goals based on needs and preferences. That ongoing adjustment helps align sessions with everyday demands and shifting priorities.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let someone choose sessions that best fit their schedule and bandwidth without committing to a single mode in advance.
