Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Amanda Smith integrates evidence-informed methods to help clients manage symptoms and pursue meaningful change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take committed action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings - this can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and barriers to motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to reduce distress and improve mood - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger management. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes strengths and small, achievable steps to create change, making it a good fit for clients seeking targeted progress on specific concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Amanda works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds.
