Therapeutic approaches for online care
Amanda draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's priorities guide each session. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help people explore their values and make meaningful changes, and it can be especially helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem work, and life transitions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, while DBT adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be useful for intense emotions, mood instability, and patterns of self-destructive behavior.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Amanda will work with each person to evaluate needs, goals, and preferences and tailor methods accordingly, adjusting techniques as progress is made.
Online therapy with Amanda is offered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, which supports flexible scheduling and access from different locations.
