About Amanda
Dr. Amanda Nicholson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who brings seven years of clinical work to relationship and intimacy concerns. She focuses on helping people recover from sexual trauma, rebuild self-worth, and navigate changes in relationships.
Her background includes a master’s in family therapy and a doctorate in human sexuality studies, which inform her approach to sex and intimacy issues. Her sessions tend to be direct and practical.
Background and approach
She helps clients name what feels wrong, teaches clearer ways to talk about needs, and offers step-by-step practices to restore trust and connection. She also addresses career stress, grief, and life transitions that affect relationships and self-esteem. Dr.
Nicholson combines Attachment-Based Therapy with techniques from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches. That means she pays attention to how early patterns shape current connections, helps people change unhelpful thoughts and reactions, and uses present-focused awareness to reduce reactivity. She also draws on narrative ideas to help people reframe their stories about themselves and their relationships.
Many people work with her on intimacy-related issues such as infidelity, sexual health concerns, boundaries, and communication problems. She offers coaching-style support for career questions and practical strategies for coping with major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and happen with attention to each person’s goals and pace.
Dr. Nicholson is based in Georgia and holds a Georgia LMFT license. She works with individuals and couples who want clearer communication, healthier intimacy, and stronger self-respect.

Online support
Attachment, CBT, and online therapy options
Dr. Nicholson uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, which helps people understand repeating cycles in their relationships. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that interfere with intimacy and self-esteem. The Gottman Method informs practical communication skills and exercises designed to rebuild trust and improve partnership dynamics.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to find methods that fit your situation and comfort level.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you see facial expressions and practice communication skills in real time. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when a hands-free check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are handy for brief check-ins, homework support, or when you prefer written reflection. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit work, childcare, or travel schedules while keeping focus on progress and consistent care.
