About Amanda
Her work often centers on stress and anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and issues related to trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, career transitions, grief, anger, and attention-related concerns such as ADHD. Amanda has experience with autism and Asperger Syndrome and common family challenges like blended family issues and divorce.
Amanda blends several counseling approaches to match each person's needs. She uses client-centered methods to listen and validate, cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and trauma-focused work when past events are affecting present life. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies are included when they fit a person's goals.
In sessions she aims to work collaboratively, shaping the conversation and the plan around the individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all program. She invites people to bring their own pace and priorities into therapy so progress feels relevant and realistic.
If someone is ready to explore change, Amanda offers support and practical steps toward clearer thinking and better coping. She helps people identify small, doable changes that add up over time.

Approaches that guide online work and goals
Amanda uses client-centered therapy to begin. This means sessions focus on a person's priorities, with the therapist listening closely and responding to what matters most. It helps when someone needs a compassionate space to make sense of their situation.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers concrete tools for managing anxiety, reducing unhelpful thinking patterns, and changing behaviors that get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is revisited as progress is made, and plans are adjusted together when something isn’t working.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific formats available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. Discussing practical needs up front helps shape a plan that matches everyday life and therapeutic goals.
