About Amanda
Her work is trauma-informed and culturally responsive, guided by a deep respect for each person’s individual story. She supports people exploring sexuality, relationship dynamics, caregiver stress, and identity development, tailoring interventions to meet practical goals and promote emotional growth. Amanda emphasizes resilience-building and collaborative problem solving, helping clients develop concrete strategies to manage symptoms, address underlying patterns, and pursue meaningful change.
Across fifteen years of practice, Amanda has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, panic, substance-related issues, and family-of-origin or caregiver stress. She welcomes individuals seeking nonjudgmental, strength-based support and partners with them to foster clearer self-understanding and sustained well-being.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to build practical coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines acceptance and change strategies and emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, useful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and self-destructive behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that strengthens personal motivation for change and is especially helpful for substance use concerns and ambivalence about change.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amanda works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what matters most to the client.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy lives or to connect from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide consistent, goal-focused support that adapts to each client’s schedule and communication style.
