Evidence-informed approaches for online therapy
Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that worsen mood and stress. CBT is practical and often focuses on small, testable changes that can reduce anxiety or depression symptoms over weeks.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. DBT skills are useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships repeatedly become conflictual.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will discuss goals and preferences and try approaches that fit each person's needs. That collaborative process helps decide whether brief, solution-focused work or longer skill training is best.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for therapy that benefits from face-to-face interaction while phone calls can fit a short break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions and to get support when a quick note or brief conversation will help. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
