About Amanda
Dr. Amanda Nicholson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Georgia. She has practiced for seven years and focuses on relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and life transitions.
Her training includes work in sexuality and family systems, and she offers both individual and couples-oriented support. She approaches sessions in a practical, down-to-earth way. Conversations are focused and concrete.
She helps people identify what they want to change and maps out small steps to get there.
How Amanda works
Sessions often include talking through patterns, learning communication skills, and developing clearer goals. Attachment-based ideas guide much of her work, helping people understand how past relationships shape current ones. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
The Gottman Method is incorporated for couples who want to repair trust and improve everyday communication. She also uses mindfulness and narrative methods to help people notice their reactions and rewrite the stories they tell themselves. These approaches aim to reduce shame, increase self-compassion, and strengthen emotional connection with others.
Therapy can move at a pace that feels manageable for each person. Practical matters are part of the process too. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

How these approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and helps people notice patterns that repeat in partnerships and friendships. It is useful for intimacy issues and rebuilding trust after conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change feelings and results; it is practical for anxiety, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.Choosing an approach is a collaborative step in therapy. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then combine methods that fit. That way the work is tailored instead of one-size-fits-all, and people can try different techniques to see what helps most.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice new communication in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging give flexibility for brief reflections, ongoing coaching, or when a written check-in fits better with a busy schedule.
