Amanda Carter, LPC

Amanda Carter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. She has 16 years of experience helping people cope with grief, trauma, addictions, and life changes. Her style is down-to-earth and focused on practical steps that can be used between sessions.

She favors a client-centered stance, which means she puts the person’s goals and priorities first. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on approach that looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Amanda has training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which she may use for trauma-related concerns.

Across her work she has supported people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses process addictions such as pornography, exercise, and gambling, along with sex addiction and substance-related concerns. Other areas she helps with include chronic illness, grief around serious illness or end of life, and adjustment after disasters or immigration-related stress.

Sessions focus on clear goals and practical tools. Amanda blends listening with skill-building so people leave with steps to try between visits. She aims to make therapy a paced, collaborative process rather than a lecture.

Her background includes a graduate degree from Richmont Graduate University and many years of clinical practice across a wide range of concerns. People who want straightforward, goal-oriented work often look for this combination of empathy and technique.

How Amanda’s approaches fit into online therapy

Amanda draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, understanding, and following the client’s lead to set goals and priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and helps shape the work around what matters most to them.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical model that identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with alternatives. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day problems where behavior and thinking patterns play a role.

EMDR is another approach Amanda has training in and may use for trauma-related symptoms. It involves processing disturbing memories in ways that can reduce their emotional intensity and the problems they cause.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Amanda will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and together they decide which strategies to try and how to pace the work.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to remote settings so the work stays goal-focused and practical.
