Background and approach
Amanda draws on several approaches to match what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to uncover thought patterns that feed anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills help with emotion regulation, boundaries, and intense reactions.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is available for people who want to address traumatic memories. With seven years of clinical experience, Amanda also brings techniques from motivational interviewing and narrative therapy when they fit the work. She pays attention to life context, relationship patterns, and family of origin themes that shape current struggles.
Practical concerns like career stress, money, and parenting strain are addressed alongside mood and identity questions. Amanda offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Meetings follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online therapy
Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thought patterns. Online CBT sessions include talking through specific situations, practicing new thinking, and assigning brief exercises to try during the week.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal boundaries. Those DBT skills can be taught over video or text and practiced between sessions to reduce overwhelming reactions.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is offered for addressing traumatic memories; when appropriate Amanda will discuss whether EMDR fits a person’s goals and how it can be adapted for remote formats.
Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, history, and comfort level. That choice can change over time as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, homework review, or when a written format feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity during transitions.
