How Amanda works

Clients can expect collaborative, goal-focused sessions where Amanda listens and helps design strategies that fit daily life. She draws on experience across many settings to tailor support for single-session skill work or longer-term change. Practical tools, short exercises, and real-world planning are common parts of her work.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Amanda often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills in online sessions. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises, which work well during video or text-based conversations. DBT offers strategies for emotion regulation, mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance that are easy to teach and practice between sessions. She may also draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clarify values and guide meaningful action. ACT focuses on learning to accept difficult feelings while committing to steps that reflect what matters most, a helpful frame for life changes and grief work. Choosing which approaches to use is a collaborative process, and Amanda will work with each client to find the best fit for their needs, goals, and preferences. Online formats make it easier to keep momentum between appointments. Video calls allow face-to-face work and role-playing of communication skills. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option for check-ins or when being on camera is not desired. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief coaching, timely support, or practicing skills throughout the week. These options offer flexibility to fit sessions into work, school, or caregiving schedules.Start online instead of waiting
