About Amanda
Amanda Elliott is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maine with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and related concerns such as motivation and confidence. Amanda lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas, along with issues like panic attacks and relationship problems.
She starts from the idea that each person knows their story best and brings strengths to coping. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, along with time to talk through what feels stuck. Amanda uses clear, direct methods rather than jargon so people can test what helps.
Her approach draws on client-centered principles that prioritize the person’s perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Trauma-focused work is offered when past events are affecting current life.
People often come for help with work stress, grief, family-of-origin concerns, codependency, or feeling isolated. Amanda also supports those managing ADHD, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, and parenting stress. The focus is on steady, manageable changes and building confidence in social situations.
She practices in Maine and offers sessions in English. Before a first appointment, she asks people to complete a short questionnaire so she can match their goals to session pacing and methods. The goal is practical progress rather than quick fixes.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Amanda integrates client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and trauma-focused methods in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy means the conversation follows the person’s priorities and pace, focusing on what matters most to them and building from their own strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety or low mood going and teaches practical exercises to try between meetings. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses past events that continue to affect day-to-day feelings and relationships, using specific strategies to reduce their impact.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will discuss goals, preferences, and the problems that feel most urgent, then recommend ways of working together. She checks in as therapy progresses and adjusts methods based on what is helping and what is not.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules require them. The practical aim is to make therapy workable alongside daily commitments while focusing on measurable steps toward reduced anxiety and improved coping.
