Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Amanda often draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based techniques to tailor care to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the client’s unique perspective, creating a supportive space where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them identify their own goals and strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve coping with chronic stress, pain, and difficult emotions.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself - Amanda collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels useful and relevant to everyday life.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, health concerns, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from familiar settings and to maintain continuity of care when life is busy or transitions arise.
