Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Amanda commonly uses solution-focused therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in her work. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on identifying practical steps and small changes that move a client toward their goals, making it useful for clients who want clear, goal-oriented progress. CBT explores the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps clients develop new skills for managing anxiety, stress, and mood challenges.
She also draws on client-centered principles that emphasize empathy, active listening, and working alongside clients to understand their priorities. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Amanda collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from home. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to deliver effective, personalized care that fits a client's routine and comfort level.
