01About Amanda
Amanda Berger-Semko offers a calm space for people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about their next step. She helps clients slow down, tell their story, and make sense of difficult feelings. Amanda works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, career questions, and other life shifts.
Amanda is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC in New Jersey and has practiced for 17 years.
Background and approach
She has worked in schools, churches, courts, community settings, and independent practice. That range gives her experience with many life situations and practical challenges. Her style is conversational and rooted in listening first.
Sessions often begin with what matters most to the person that day. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings, client-centered methods to follow the person’s pace, and mindfulness to build calm and focus. Amanda also draws on existential and Jungian ideas when questions about meaning, identity, and purpose come up.
Those approaches help people clarify values, explore inner patterns, and reconnect with what matters. She invites curiosity about family history, body image, and patterns that repeat across relationships. Online options let clients choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Amanda accepts international clients and aims to match her approach to each person’s needs and schedule.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Amanda combines attachment-based therapy with client-centered and mindfulness approaches to support online work. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions, which can help with intimacy, codependency, and family of origin issues. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead so sessions move at a comfortable pace and reflect what matters most to the client. Mindfulness techniques teach simple practices to reduce worry, calm the body, and improve focus during stressful moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda treats that as a collaborative process where goals, personal values, and daily realities guide decisions. She will talk with clients about which ideas feel useful and adapt methods as needs change over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being off camera helps someone focus. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, do shorter reflections, or share updates when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on steady progress.
