She uses approachable language and clear steps to help clients build day-to-day coping skills. Amanda aims to make sessions welcoming and focused on practical change.

Amanda draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand their feelings and improve how they respond to hard moments. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's priorities.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods are part of her toolkit for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Her background includes outpatient work in clinical settings, plus experience with substance use and hospital-based care. That variety informs how she helps people handle complex problems like co-occurring conditions, chronic illness, and caregiver stress.

She listens for what matters most and tailors small, doable steps to each situation. Amanda often works on issues connected to relationships and life transitions, such as attachment struggles, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family dynamics, divorce, and commitment difficulties. She also supports people facing chronic pain, cancer, body image distress, and parenting strain by helping them find practical coping strategies.

Sessions emphasize skills that can be used between meetings, like grounding techniques, emotion regulation, and communication tools. Amanda frames therapy as a collaborative process where clients set goals and she helps them practice new ways of coping. The approach is steady, empathetic, and focused on real-life progress.

How Amanda’s Approaches Work Online

Amanda uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and make sense of strong emotions, which can improve how they respond during stressful moments. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which keeps the focus on each person’s goals and experiences, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on what is helpful and what the client wants to try next.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone visits can be a lower-bandwidth option for check-ins, while chat or text messaging can support short updates, coaching between sessions, or those who prefer not to be on camera. These formats help fit therapy into work, caregiving, and busy schedules while keeping focus on practical tools and steady progress.
