About Amanda
Amanda Alleman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 13 years of experience. She focuses on everyday struggles that wear people down, such as stress, anxiety, relationship tension, family conflict, parenting worries, and grief. Her approach is straightforward and supportive for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
Amanda centers sessions on each person’s strengths and goals. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them build practical steps forward.
Background and approach
Conversations are collaborative and down to earth rather than full of jargon. Therapy sessions may include identifying unhelpful thoughts, setting small achievable goals, and finding realistic ways to cope. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused techniques are used to help people make changes that matter.
Motivational interviewing is offered when someone wants to shift habits like substance use or difficult routines. Amanda also works with issues such as trauma and abuse, addiction, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, anger, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. She helps people navigate family-related challenges including adoption and foster care questions, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress.
Sessions are offered in English and use clear language so parents and busy adults can follow along. Amanda aims to make starting therapy easier by offering empathy, practical plans, and steady support as people work toward their goals.

Approaches online that focus on goals and strengths
Amanda often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and simple tools for anxiety, depression, sleep struggles, and anger so people can notice measurable shifts in daily life.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy which emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping clients use their own strengths to solve problems. This approach is useful for relationship worries, parenting stress, grief, and when someone needs space to talk through difficult emotions without judgment.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then tailor methods that fit those needs. She checks in regularly to see what helps and adjusts plans as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well with lower bandwidth, live chat or text messaging allow brief check-ins and support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
