How Amanda Uses Practical Therapy Online

Amanda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and helps people practice small changes to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take manageable actions even when difficult feelings are present.

She also draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe important stories from their lives and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify immediate steps that move a person toward their goals. Together these approaches offer both skills practice and meaning-making to address issues like grief, stress, relationship strain, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Amanda will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan if something isn’t working, so therapy stays tailored and practical.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for more in-depth sessions and exercises. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can support quick check-ins, coaching-style suggestions, or bridging work between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
