Amanda Carter, LPC

Amanda Carter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia who brings a thoughtful, client-focused approach to therapy. She earned her graduate degree from Richmont Graduate University in 2004 and has since worked with people of all ages and a wide range of concerns. Amanda is particularly drawn to supporting individuals navigating grief, trauma, and process addictions such as pornography, and she tailors her work to the needs of each person.

She emphasizes a client-centered foundation, believing that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is central to meaningful change. Alongside that relational focus, Amanda integrates evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address patterns of thought and behavior, and she is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for processing traumatic memories. Her practice is aimed at creating a collaborative space where clients and therapist work together toward clear goals and practical coping strategies.

Approaches used in online therapy with Amanda Carter

Amanda Carter integrates client-centered care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and EMDR to support people through a range of concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience, offering empathy and collaboration so the client feels heard and respected; this approach helps when building trust and clarifying goals. CBT is a practical approach that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and it offers tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by developing new coping skills. EMDR is a therapeutic method trained to help people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, often used for trauma-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amanda works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. The therapist and client decide together which techniques will be tried and how to measure improvement.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can occur by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing clients to connect from different locations and on schedules that suit them. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to use the approaches above so clients can pursue meaningful work without needing to travel to a physical office.
