Background and approach
Sessions are meant to feel like a team effort toward small, doable changes. Her work often addresses trouble sleeping, low self-esteem, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Amanda helps with panic attacks, phobias, mood shifts, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Amanda uses several approaches to fit a client’s needs, including Narrative Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and elements of the Gottman Method. She explains each option and helps clients decide what to try first.
The emphasis is on practical steps and clearer thinking, not jargon. People who choose Amanda often want straightforward support, honest feedback, and a calm guide through change. She focuses on small goals that add up over time and on making therapy work around a busy life.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Online session options
How this approach translates to online therapy
Amanda commonly uses Narrative Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the story they tell about themselves and their problems. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will discuss options, try techniques in session, and adjust plans based on what feels most useful. The goal is to find methods that match the person’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than insisting on a single way of working.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let people talk face to face when that helps. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, writing through difficult feelings, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options let people build therapy into a busy life and try different formats to see what helps most.
