Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Amanda draws on established approaches to guide online work in ways that match each client's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, helping people address issues like abandonment, intimacy difficulties, and attachment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own experience, offering empathetic listening and support so individuals can find their own solutions and build self-trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, offering practical techniques for managing stress, anxiety, and mood-related challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Amanda works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and personal history. This collaborative exploration helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and effective for each person.
Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or other commitments and to maintain continuity of care across different locations. For many clients, the convenience and variety of communication methods support consistent progress and make therapy more accessible.
