Integrating proven approaches into online care
Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and impulsive behaviors. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-informed method that supports processing distressing memories and trauma by promoting adaptive information processing.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Amanda works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds so therapy feels relevant and effective for each person.
Online therapy offers flexibility and access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity through life transitions, and access support from home or other settings, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on practical skills and emotional work together.
