Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Amanda commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses - this approach can be helpful for clients dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, and relationship struggles. She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and supporting a person’s own capacity for growth - this approach often supports self-esteem, motivation, and decision-making. In addition, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, stress, and mood challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, and then tailors methods that fit their needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. She partners with clients to adjust techniques over time so the work feels relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations. Amanda uses these modalities to provide consistent, goal-focused support in ways that work for each client.
