How Amanda’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Amanda often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches small, practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. Trauma-focused therapy helps people process past distress and develop coping strategies for triggers and memories.

She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own goals and pace. That means conversations start with what matters most to the client, and the therapist and client decide together which tools or exercises to try next. Finding the right approach is part of the work, and Amanda helps clients weigh options based on needs and preferences.

If you plan to try online sessions, please confirm the exact session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled without travel, and brief check-ins can be arranged when a full in-person visit is difficult. The focus remains on practical strategies and real-world changes that translate from session to daily routines.
