How Amanda uses structured approaches in online sessions
Amanda works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) methods in clear, practical ways. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, test them, and practice alternative responses to reduce anxiety or depression. DBT focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for managing intense feelings and conflict.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or emotions appear. Together, these approaches give concrete exercises and short plans a person can use between meetings. Determining which mix of methods fits best is a collaborative process; the therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online session options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into work or family schedules, reduce commute time, and let them practice skills in everyday settings. Others prefer formats that allow shorter check-ins or avoid video when bandwidth is limited. Discuss format choices when scheduling to pick what works best for daily life and goals.
