Therapeutic approaches and online care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for stress, anxiety, life transitions, and issues where aligning actions with values matters.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and skills-based, frequently used for anxiety, depression, and problems with mood, coping, and daily functioning.

Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and nonreactive observation of experience to reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation. It can support clients dealing with chronic stress, anxiety, and difficulties with attention and focus.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda works with clients to match therapeutic methods to their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit counseling into busy lives or across different locations. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent, accessible care that supports ongoing work between sessions.
