Amanda Carter , LPC

Amanda Carter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. She earned her degree from Richmont Graduate University in 2004 and has worked with people of all ages on a wide range of concerns since that time. Amanda has a particular interest in supporting individuals navigating grief, trauma, and process addictions such as pornography, and she draws on years of experience to tailor care to each person’s situation.

She emphasizes a client-centered stance, holding that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is a key driver of meaningful change regardless of the specific interventions used. In practice she commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a structured approach that links thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to help people develop practical coping skills - and she is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a method used to help process distressing memories. Amanda combines these approaches with a compassionate, collaborative style to address issues like anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addiction, and coping with major life changes.

Her work also extends to specialized areas including chronic illness and pain, hospice and end-of-life counseling, immigration-related stress, and compassion fatigue. Amanda aims to meet clients where they are, offering focused therapeutic strategies while maintaining the relational support many clients find essential for long-term progress.
