Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Amanda integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, accepting environment in which clients lead the conversation and explore their own goals - this approach helps when clients need a supportive space to process emotions and clarify values. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a practical, skills-based approach that examines patterns of thoughts and behaviors and teaches strategies to manage anxiety, stress, and problematic coping responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amanda collaborates with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made to ensure the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, by phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging - making it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules or to connect across distances. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent support while accommodating different communication styles and daily routines.
