About Amanda

Amanda Elliott is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Maine who centers her work on client strengths and collaboration. She approaches therapy from a client-centered stance, meeting people where they are and helping them use their own insights to navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Background and approach

With experience guiding clients through relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and career-related concerns, she emphasizes practical steps grounded in evidence-based techniques. Her practice also addresses attention-related concerns including ADHD alongside issues such as self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.

Amanda integrates cognitive behavioral strategies and trauma-focused methods when needed to address patterns of thinking, emotional regulation, and the impact of past experiences. She aims to empower clients to build resilience, repair communication, and pursue clearer life purpose while honoring each person’s unique story.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online

Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person’s own perspective and strengths, creating a supportive setting where the therapist follows the client's lead to explore values, goals, and meaning. This approach is helpful for building self-awareness, confidence, and motivation to change.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and learning practical skills to shift thinking and behavior. It can be effective for managing anxiety, depression, stress, panic symptoms, and challenges related to attention and daily functioning.

Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding and processing the effects of traumatic experiences, using techniques that promote safety, emotional regulation, and gradual integration of difficult memories when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then tailors techniques from these methods so treatment fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online sessions such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different communication styles, and access licensed professionals from a distance while arranging appointments that fit individual schedules.
