How Amanda’s Approaches Work Online

Amanda integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside mindfulness practices to support change in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense mood swings, anger, or impulsivity. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, benefiting stress, sleep difficulties, and overall coping.

Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. Amanda works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, tailoring techniques to fit individual needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. Licensed professionals and therapists often adapt tools over time as progress is made.

Online therapy with Amanda offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access consistent support from wherever a person is located within the therapist's service area.
