Background and approach

Amanda encourages clients to take small, realistic steps toward healthier routines and relationships. Amanda has worked in residential and community settings helping adolescents, adults, and couples. Her background includes crisis intervention, intake assessments, group work, and support for families navigating trauma and loss.

She has experience with co-parenting and life skills programs as well as work at military and community centers.

How Amanda's Approaches Work Online

Amanda commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping parents and family members find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at current thoughts and actions and teaches practical tools to change patterns that cause stress or conflict.

She treats therapeutic approach as something to discover together. Early sessions are collaborative so the therapist and client can decide which methods fit the family’s goals, values, and pace. That way a plan evolves from the client’s needs rather than a fixed formula.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different schedules and comfort levels. Video lets families work face-to-face from home, phone sessions can be easier during busy days, and chat or messaging can support short check-ins or skill practice between meetings. These options give flexibility for parents balancing childcare, work, and school while keeping therapy consistent.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
