How Amanda’s approaches work for online therapy

Amanda draws from client-centered therapy to start sessions by listening and following the person’s lead. This approach helps identify immediate concerns and goals before moving to specific techniques.

She uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, mood changes, and stress-related problems.

She also incorporates EMDR when trauma memories are a core issue, using structured steps to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will help figure out which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable.

Confirm the current online session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online work helpful for fitting therapy into busy lives, keeping appointments during work breaks, and avoiding travel time. Amanda focuses on making sessions practical and useful, whether the plan emphasizes skill work, trauma processing, or improving communication.
