Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action toward a meaningful life. It encourages acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while building psychological flexibility, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Short-term and solution-focused, CBT provides practical tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. It is especially useful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and managing crises.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time to support progress and well-being.

Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions by video call or phone accommodate busy schedules, while live chat and text-based messaging provide additional ways to connect between sessions. For many people, these options make it easier to access support from licensed professionals and continue therapeutic work with fewer logistical barriers.
