About Amanda
In sessions she draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s lead and build on their strengths. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try manageable behavior changes. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and needs to find their own reasons to change.
Amanda has three years of clinical experience working with survivors of violence and people managing trauma, domestic violence concerns, and caregiver stress. She supports those dealing with low self-esteem, anger, and the emotional fallout of major life transitions. Career questions, parenting stress, and young adult issues are also areas she addresses.
Her approach is practical and collaborative. Amanda listens, offers feedback, and helps set small goals a person can try between sessions. She values respect, empowerment, and steady support while people take steps toward feeling better.
If you want to look into therapy, Amanda asks that you complete the platform matching steps to find a good fit and schedule an initial appointment.

How these approaches guide online work
Amanda combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to create a balance between listening and active skill-building. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person's pace, reflecting what matters to them, and building on existing strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and introduces simple experiments to try out new patterns.She also uses Motivational Interviewing when someone feels unsure about change. This approach helps people clarify their own reasons for making a change and find motivation that fits their values. Together these methods help with anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, career decisions, and everyday stressors.
Finding the right mix is part of the process. Amanda will work with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time based on what helps. This happens collaboratively in session so people feel heard and involved.
