Background and approach
Amanda has worked with people facing mood disorders, ADHD, complicated grief, and issues tied to military service. She pays attention to patterns such as codependency, avoidance, and feelings of emptiness. She helps people untangle those patterns and find clearer choices.
Therapy with Amanda often includes skill-building for emotion regulation, sleep routine adjustments, and relapse prevention for substance concerns. She blends evidence-informed tools like CBT and DBT skills with trauma-focused work when needed. EMDR is also part of her approach when trauma processing is appropriate.
Clients can expect practical homework between sessions and steady check-ins on progress. Amanda aims to help people reconnect with purpose and rebuild routines that support better mood and functioning.
How Amanda’s Approaches Work Online
Amanda commonly uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s goals, creating room to talk through what matters most. CBT looks at thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete ways to change them. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to reduce reactivity and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs and goals. She adjusts techniques over time based on how someone responds and what feels most helpful in real life.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation when geography is an obstacle. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or a quicker check-in during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter updates and ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or medical schedules while using the approaches above to work on symptoms and daily coping.
