Therapeutic approaches and online care
Amanda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and navigating life changes.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT offers concrete exercises and experiments to test new ways of coping, which can help with stress, depression, and relationship challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda collaborates with each client to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust strategies over time based on what is helpful.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for exercises. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a calming voice check-in fits a schedule. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and daily life.
