Background and approach
Conversations focus on concrete steps and small changes that add up over time. Amanda draws on several approaches to fit the person in front of her. She blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior ideas when that helps.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused work are used for building momentum and practical problem solving. She holds the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, and is also listed as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia. Those credentials mark her clinical background and years of practice.
Amanda has worked across outpatient, group, and intensive outpatient settings. People who choose her often want direct tools for managing panic, mood swings, grief, or relationship conflict. Sessions include skill practice, planning for stressful moments, and building routines that support better coping.
She guides each person toward goals they find meaningful.
Online approaches that teach skills and build coping
Amanda commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then focus on actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.She treats finding the right approach as a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about what feels most useful, try techniques, and adjust plans based on progress and preference. Clients and therapist pick skills and goals together so the work fits daily life.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for full sessions with visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets people check in quickly, and messaging supports short updates or homework between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and fit therapy into busy schedules.
