Background and approach

Parents and caregivers often come for help with parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and blended family concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma, chronic illness, or big life changes. Her work includes attention to attachment patterns and how past losses shape current relationships.

Amanda draws on several approaches to fit each person's needs. She may use cognitive-behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, acceptance strategies to handle difficult feelings, or attachment-focused work to improve closeness and trust. Therapy is collaborative and paced to individual comfort.

With ten years of experience as an LMHC, Amanda aims to create a straightforward, respectful space. She helps clients set realistic goals and build skills that carry into daily life. If someone wants coaching-style support or deeper therapy for trauma and mood concerns, she meets both needs in a practical way.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Amanda commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and making changes that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact and teaches practical skills to shift patterns that cause distress. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and habit change.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. Amanda will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and check in regularly to adjust the plan as needed.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions when bandwidth is low, live chat for brief check-ins, and text messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make scheduling easier, let people fit sessions into work or family time, and allow quick skills practice when stressful moments happen. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured therapies and skill-building exercises just as they would in person.
