In session Amanda uses a mix of well-known approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps track thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports noticing what matters and taking steps in that direction.
She also draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at patterns in close relationships and client-centered methods that keep the person’s perspective central. Sessions tend to be practical and focused on skills people can try between meetings. Amanda works with individuals aged 14 and over and with couples when that fit is needed.
Her practice includes attention to issues like addiction, trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, and family of origin problems. People who want a clear plan, skill practice, and collaborative problem-solving may find this approach helpful.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Amanda often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going; it is often used for anxiety and depression. ACT focuses on noticing values and taking committed steps, which can help with avoidance and low motivation.Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are also part of her toolkit, offering concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These methods can be useful when emotion regulation or relationship patterns are causing repeated problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will help figure out which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences and adjust plans as needs change. The process is collaborative and focused on practical steps the person can try between appointments.
