About Amanda

Amanda Berger-Semko is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 17 years of experience. She offers a calm space for people who feel rushed, overwhelmed, or disconnected and need time to sort through emotions and life choices. Amanda invites clients to slow down, tell their story, and work toward more meaning and purpose in everyday life.

Her approach centers on building strong therapeutic connection and understanding how past attachment patterns shape present relationships.

Background and approach

Amanda blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening and mindfulness to help people notice what matters and make different choices. She also draws on existential and Jungian perspectives to explore identity, values, and the deeper themes of someone’s life. Across her career she has worked in schools, churches, courts, community programs, and independent practice.

That range gives her experience with many kinds of problems, from stress and anxiety to grief, addiction, body image, and caregiver fatigue. Amanda treats concerns like depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, and intimacy-related issues with the same careful attention to each person’s story. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth.

People can expect reflections, mindful practices, and questions that invite new ways of seeing themselves. The goal is practical change - improved relationships, clearer priorities, and more ease in daily life. Amanda welcomes clients who prefer online work and those who want flexible formats.

She frames therapy as a collaborative journey and stays focused on what each person needs next.

Online support

Attachment, Mindfulness, and Meaning in Online Sessions

Amanda draws from attachment-based ideas to notice how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses. This work helps with intimacy-related struggles, abandonment concerns, and family of origin issues by tracking how people relate and offering new ways to feel and act in relationships.

She also uses client-centered listening and mindfulness techniques to create space for immediate feeling and self-awareness. Client-centered work means the session follows what the person brings, while mindfulness practices help with stress, anxiety, and managing strong emotions in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda collaborates with each person to identify goals and to test what methods feel most helpful, adjusting the mix of attachment focus, reflective questioning, and practical exercises as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different needs. Video lets people see facial cues and work closely on relationship patterns, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and text messaging allows brief ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between meetings.
