Background and approach
Amanda helps people with anxiety, depression, mood and personality disorders, bipolar disorder, and problems related to addiction. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, parenting strain, caregiving stress, and challenges linked to autism or intellectual disability. In sessions she focuses on practical skills and simple steps.
That can mean learning tools to manage strong emotions, building routines that reduce stress, or practicing ways to improve day-to-day decision making. She works collaboratively to set goals that feel realistic for each person. Amanda draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, emotion-focused methods, and mindfulness practices.
She tailors these approaches to fit the person in front of her rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. As a breast cancer survivor, Amanda understands the emotional impact of serious illness and the need for compassionate listening. She welcomes conversations about how illness, loss, and life transitions affect daily functioning and relationships.
How Amanda's Approaches Work Online
Amanda uses client-centered therapy to create a listening, supportive space where people can set their own goals and feel heard. This approach helps when someone needs empathetic support during stressful life events or long-term emotional struggles.She also employs cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT-style work online can help with anxiety, depression, mood regulation, and decision-making by teaching concrete tools to use between sessions.
Dialectical behavior therapy offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those methods are useful when strong emotions, impulsivity, or relationship conflicts make daily life harder.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that match those needs, and adjust the plan over time. The aim is to find a combination that feels useful and doable.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for a close, face-to-face feel. Phone sessions can fit during a lunch break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messages allow shorter check-ins, written reflection, or support between longer sessions. These options provide flexibility to match different routines and comfort levels.
