Amanda Alleman, LPC

Amanda Alleman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She has 13 years of professional experience and has worked as an LPC since 2020. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, as well as parenting challenges. Amanda aims to make starting therapy straightforward and supportive for people who feel unsure about reaching out.

She believes clients are the experts of their own stories and that existing strengths matter. Sessions focus on practical changes in everyday thoughts and habits that get in the way of feeling better. Amanda brings a calm, compassionate presence and a straightforward style to the work.

Amanda uses approaches such as client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. She also draws on motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and solution-focused strategies to set clear, achievable goals. These methods are used to address concerns like depression, grief, trauma and substance issues.

People who come for help might talk through recent life changes, work and career stress, sleep problems, intimacy or anger, and complex family situations. Amanda supports those navigating adoption or foster care, attachment and abandonment questions, caregiving stress, and body image or codependency struggles.

Her practice language is English and she works with people located in Pennsylvania. She encourages prospective clients to consider what they want from therapy and to start with a short matching questionnaire to find an appointment time.

How Amanda Uses Talk-Based Approaches Online

Amanda often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy and following the client’s lead. That approach helps people feel heard and supports them in naming what matters most to change.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a hands-on method that looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviors interact. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems and unhelpful thinking by testing new behaviors and tracking small changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. That may mean trying different techniques for a few sessions and adjusting as needed.

For practical matters, confirm available session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt pace and homework to match everyday routines, making small habit changes feel manageable.
