Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Amanda commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will talk with each person about their goals, try strategies together, and adjust the plan based on what works best. She encourages feedback so sessions reflect a client's preferences and life demands.

Online care is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat is suited to shorter check-ins, and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules while focusing on practical progress.
