About Amanda
Her approach centers on Trauma-Focused Therapy along with client-centered care. She starts by listening to each person’s story and identifying strengths they already have. From there she offers practical skills and strategies that match the person’s goals and life situation.
Amanda also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behaviors. She uses dialectical behavior skills when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants to change habits related to substance use or other patterns.
She works with a broad range of concerns including grief, mood disorders, ADHD, eating and body image issues, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. Amanda helps people talk through difficult feelings and build clearer plans for coping and change.
Her style is collaborative and strengths-based. She invites questions and helps clients set realistic steps, so therapy fits into everyday life. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a session based on availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Amanda uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process and reduce the impact of past harm, working at a pace that each person can tolerate. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her style too, which means she listens carefully and follows the client’s lead while offering support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides concrete tools to change thinking patterns and daily behaviors that contribute to anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and to adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
The therapist biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from a day. Licensed professionals can use these ways to help people practice skills between sessions and keep momentum toward their goals.
These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
