How Amanda’s approaches translate to online care
Amanda uses client-centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as core tools. Client-centered work focuses on what the person wants to address and keeps the sessions driven by their priorities. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and offers concrete exercises to change them. DBT provides practical skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will talk with the person about goals and daily challenges, then suggest which methods to try first. Sessions can change over time if a different focus would fit better or progress calls for new skills.
