How Amanda’s approaches translate to online therapy
Amanda often draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building a trusting therapeutic relationship through active listening and empathy. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they consider changes in their life.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teach practical strategies for change. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and problem-solving around daily challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when emotions feel overwhelming.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Amanda collaborates with each person to match techniques to their goals, preferences, and daily life. She will discuss which approaches feel most useful and adjust the plan as progress and needs evolve.

Many people find it simpler to practice skills learned in sessions during the same day they were discussed, which can speed up skill-building.
