How Amanda’s approaches fit with online therapy

Amanda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. That approach can be useful for managing anxiety, low motivation, and major life changes. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors that reduce distress and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Amanda listens to your goals and tries different techniques until you find what helps. Sessions focus on small, practical steps you can use between meetings and are adjusted based on your feedback and needs.
