Evidence-based approaches delivered online
Amanda uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety and related concerns. Cognitive-behavioral approaches help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce panic and social anxiety. Behavioral strategies and skills training focus on building routines, managing impulses, and improving mood symptoms.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, symptoms, and daily life. Together they check what works and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays focused and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and practicing skills together.
