Amanda Alleman, LPC

Amanda Alleman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship tension, parenting strain, depression, and addictions, including help with grief and intimacy-related issues. She approaches people with compassion and straightforward support to help them take the first step toward change.

Amanda sees each person as the expert on their own life and builds on existing strengths. Sessions are grounded in practical conversation and clear goals. She offers steady encouragement and helps people try small, manageable steps between meetings.

Her background includes 13 years of professional experience and licensure as an LPC in Pennsylvania. Amanda began practicing under the LPC credential in 2020 and has worked across a range of concerns from trauma and abuse to coping with life changes and career stress.

Her approach mixes client-centered listening with methods that focus on thoughts and behaviors. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing helps with making change feel possible when motivation is low.

In sessions she aims to be direct and warm. People can expect room to tell their story, practical suggestions, and guidance on small experiments to try between sessions. Amanda invites questions and works with each person to set clear, realistic steps forward.

How her approaches translate to online work

Amanda combines client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to support people facing stress, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and mood changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respectful listening and following the person’s lead to understand what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and introduces small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change by exploring their reasons and strengthening personal motivation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Amanda will work with each person to identify goals and decide which methods fit best. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques based on how the person responds and what feels useful.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to join from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote work with practical exercises, thought records, and motivational conversations aimed at moving goals forward.
