About Amanda
Her approach begins with listening. Amanda treats clients as experts on their own lives and works alongside them to set realistic steps forward. She often uses straightforward skills from cognitive behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful thinking and from solution-focused work to set small, practical goals.
Amanda also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotions feel overwhelming. That work emphasizes concrete strategies to reduce distress and improve emotional regulation. Motivational interviewing helps people facing addiction or ambivalence find their own reasons to make change.
She has experience addressing trauma and abuse, relationship and communication problems, and complicated grief. Amanda helps people with eating and body-image concerns, mood disorders including bipolar disorder, and symptoms of ADHD and obsessive-compulsive behaviors.
Parents and people who grew up in adoptive or foster settings may find support for attachment and family-related concerns. Amanda also assists those dealing with compassion fatigue, career stress, jealousy, and the effects of narcissistic dynamics.

How Amanda Uses Practical Therapies Online
Amanda commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Client-centered work focuses on listening and helping people shape goals that matter to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches straightforward skills to change them. Dialectical behavior therapy offers clear tools for emotion regulation and reducing impulsive reactions, which can help with anger, mood swings, or overwhelming stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and happens together. Amanda will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels most useful. She tailors techniques over time so sessions stay practical and aligned with what the client hopes to accomplish.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy day by reducing travel and making it easier to keep appointments. Online sessions can also make brief check-ins, skills practice, or step-by-step problem solving simpler to schedule around work, school, or caregiving duties. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT skill work to remote visits so the focus stays on concrete tools and steady progress.
