Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Amanda Perkins
Amanda draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that reflect their values - it is often useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they shape current connections, helping clients improve intimacy, trust, and emotional regulation in close relationships. Amanda may also integrate elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they determine which methods feel most helpful and practical. This partnership lets therapy shift as progress is made or new challenges emerge.
Online therapy with Amanda includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend appointments from home, balance therapy with work or family responsibilities, and maintain continuity of care during life changes, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor treatment to individual goals.
