Background and approach
Amanda adjusts the pace to each person's needs and goals. Her background includes work in inpatient care, intensive outpatient treatment, outpatient groups, and independent practice. That variety shaped her ability to support people through big life transitions and recurring moods.
She also has experience addressing issues linked to adoption, caregiving, aging, and family of origin concerns.

She helps people strengthen relationships, manage emotional ups and downs, and handle stress without getting overwhelmed.

She invites straightforward conversations about goals and progress.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Amanda commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and take action toward what matters. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and practicing new responses for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. ACT emphasizes values-based choices and building psychological flexibility to cope with difficult feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda talks with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which methods fit best. She treats the process as a collaboration and adjusts techniques as progress is made.
Online sessions can be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging options let people check in between appointments or use shorter check-ins during busy days. These formats make it easier to fit counseling into work, caregiving, or other demanding schedules.
