Therapeutic approaches and online care

Amanda often draws from Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes the client's perspective and creates space for empathy and understanding. This approach helps people explore their feelings and build self-awareness while the therapist follows and supports the client's lead.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT offers concrete tools to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and anger by reshaping unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Amanda works with clients to identify which method or combination of methods fits their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring to therapy. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to each client’s needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy life or access support from different locations. For many people, these options improve consistency and make it possible to engage with licensed professionals and therapists in a way that matches their schedule and comfort level.
