About Amanda
Amanda Elliott is a Maine Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with four years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and related concerns such as parenting, anger, and career strain.
She approaches work from a client-centered stance that recognizes the person as the expert on their own life. Sessions aim to identify existing strengths and apply them to current problems. Amanda uses clear, practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns and try small changes that can reduce distress.
When trauma is part of the picture she brings trauma-focused methods alongside talk-based support. That means paying attention to how past events shape current reactions and using focused techniques to reduce their hold. She helps people develop coping skills for flashbacks, anxiety, and overwhelming emotion.
Sessions are conversational and goal oriented. Amanda helps people break larger problems into manageable steps. She works on communication skills, boundaries, and ways to lower day-to-day reactivity, including around anger and relationship tension.
Her practice also addresses related areas such as grief, parenting stress, ADHD challenges, and compassion fatigue. Amanda draws on concrete tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and on listening that centers the client’s experience. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to set goals and priorities.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client’s perspective. Online sessions use that same emphasis on the client’s experience, helping people describe struggles like anger, worry, or grief and set practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches people to spot unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. In online work this often means setting small, real-world experiments between sessions and reviewing results together to build better habits. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on how past events affect present reactions and teaches coping skills to reduce distressing symptoms. When used online, the therapist and client create a stepwise plan to address triggers and practice grounding or other skills during talk sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of client-centered listening, CBT exercises, or trauma-focused techniques fits their concerns and goals. The plan can shift as progress is made. Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins or longer sessions when needed. Those practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while they practice new ways of handling anger and stress.Areas of focus
