Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Dr. Amanda Antis

Dr. Amanda Antis integrates several evidence-informed approaches to help clients build skills and find clarity. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - supports people in identifying personal values and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed steps toward meaningful goals; it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and emotions, an approach often used for anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic understanding and a nonjudgmental stance, creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their concerns and uncover their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Antis works with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adjusts methods over time so the therapy fits the person rather than the other way around. This collaborative tailoring helps ensure treatment remains relevant and effective for each individual.
