About Amanda
Amanda Elliott is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Maine who draws on a client-centered approach to support people facing stress and anxiety. She emphasizes listening first and then helping people build on their own strengths. Amanda focuses on practical steps that feel manageable for daily life.
Amanda has four years of experience helping people with depression, motivation, and self-esteem. She also works with trauma and abuse survivors and those managing grief or major life changes.

In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also incorporates Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are contributing to current symptoms. Her client-centered stance means the person’s goals guide the work.
Amanda aims to make the therapy process clear and approachable. She talks through concrete strategies, like coping tools and small behavior changes, and checks in about what is and isn’t working. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
People who reach out can expect a calm, straightforward style and attention to everyday challenges like parenting, career strain, and relationship stress. Language used in sessions is plain and direct so that ideas can be practiced between meetings.
How Amanda's Approaches Fit Online or Remote Work
Amanda uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work focused on each person’s priorities. That means sessions begin by listening to what matters most and then shaping goals around those concerns. It helps when someone needs a flexible, goal-driven plan.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT provides simple skills for managing anxiety, panic, and low mood that can be practiced between meetings. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events are contributing to current distress and involves careful, paced work to reduce their impact.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Amanda will help figure out which methods match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress continues. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels doable.
