Online session options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Many people benefit from Narrative Therapy, which looks at the stories they tell about themselves and asks which parts they want to keep or change. This approach helps when life feels stuck, when past events shape current choices, or when someone wants a clearer sense of purpose.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on acceptance and listening. It gives people space to explore feelings at their own pace and often helps when someone needs steady support and clearer self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and habits by teaching concrete skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage mood swings.
Choosing the right approach is a team decision. Amanda works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. The focus is on what helps each person feel better and function more effectively day to day.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work face-to-face when interaction and visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a simpler check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing skill practice easier between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules, travel, or times when a shorter format is most useful.
