About Amanda
Her style is practical and collaborative. Sessions are structured but flexible, and she focuses on clear goals you can act on between meetings. Amanda emphasizes emotional regulation, improving communication, and building habits that reduce distress over time.
She uses a mix of client-centered work and skills-based therapies to respond to real-life problems. That can mean talking through painful experiences, practicing coping skills, or working on how you relate to others. The work is straightforward and aimed at everyday improvements.
Amanda has experience helping people with persistent mental health conditions and those affected by high-conflict family systems, adoption and foster care histories, or justice-system involvement. She draws on a trauma-informed approach to recognize how past harm shapes current reactions.
If someone is nervous about starting therapy, she aims to make the first steps clear and manageable. The focus is on small, useful changes that add up to better functioning and more honest relationships.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Amanda commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship so clients can find their own solutions. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change them.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools when emotion regulation or strong reactions are part of the concern. DBT provides concrete skills for handling intense feelings, reducing impulsive behavior, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the best approach is part of the process. Amanda works collaboratively to pick methods that match your needs, goals, and preferences. Together you’ll try strategies and adjust the plan based on what helps you make steady progress.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or from different locations. It can also let you focus on shorter check-ins or full sessions depending on what you need that week.
