Evidence-based approaches for online support
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replace them with more constructive ways of thinking. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation and focuses on practical strategies and skill-building.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance with change-oriented techniques - teaching emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills. DBT can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and coping with crises.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps clients resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation for change. It is commonly used for substance-related concerns, behavior change, and situations where commitment is difficult.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amanda works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailors methods to fit each person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around daily life, maintain continuity of care during transitions, and access support from wherever a client is located, while still focusing on practical, skill-based work that supports progress.
