She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, addiction, relationship and family issues, and life transitions.

How sessions work
How Amanda uses therapeutic methods online
Amanda frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice what matters to them and take actions aligned with those values, even when difficult feelings show up. CBT focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills for changes in behavior.She also brings Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices into sessions when stronger emotion regulation is needed. DBT offers specific techniques for tolerating distress and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness exercises help slow reactivity and increase awareness of bodily and thought patterns that feed anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change over time as different strategies are tried and adjusted.
