Background and approach
Amanda blends problem-solving methods with mindfulness and motivational interviewing. Sessions often include short, concrete techniques to try between meetings. She aims to help people build skills they can use when stress levels rise or routines shift.
Her style is straightforward and calm. She creates a space where people can talk without judgment and take small steps toward change. The therapist’s experience includes work with women's issues and LGBT-related matters, and she addresses guilt, shame, and personality-related concerns.
People who prefer a collaborative process will find a focus on setting clear goals and measuring progress. Amanda balances listening with practical suggestions. She encourages clients to notice what works and to adjust plans as needed.
Using client-centered care and DBT skills online
Amanda routinely draws on client-centered therapy to guide sessions. This approach means the therapist listens closely and follows the person's priorities, helping them name goals and decide next steps. It is useful when someone needs a supportive, nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthy communication. DBT techniques are often helpful for strong mood swings, intense reactions, and people who want concrete coping tools. Mindfulness therapy is another part of her work and focuses on noticing thoughts and sensations without getting swept away, which can reduce anxiety and improve focus.
Choosing an approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss different methods and adapt them based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are collaborative, with ongoing check-ins to see what helps and what to change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins or flexible communication between calls. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent despite busy days or changing routines.
