Approaches Used in Online Therapy and What to Expect

Amanda often draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with mindfulness techniques woven into sessions to support emotional regulation and present-moment awareness. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathic space where the person’s priorities guide the work - it is helpful for improving self-understanding, strengthening relationships, and exploring life choices. CBT is a structured approach that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple practices to develop attention to the present moment, which can reduce rumination and improve coping with strong emotions.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Amanda works collaboratively with each person to identify goals, trial techniques, and adjust the approach based on what best supports their needs, preferences, and pace.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, and daily commitments. These options make it easier to access therapy from home or another convenient location and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable and practical for them.
