She also uses Narrative and Solution-Focused methods to help people reframe difficult experiences and set small, manageable goals.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Amanda commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's priorities so the person guides the pace and topics of work. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships, which can help with anxiety, mood fluctuations, and grief.She also often brings mindfulness techniques into sessions to help people notice thoughts and sensations without getting overwhelmed. Mindfulness exercises are short and practical, useful for calming stress and improving focus during hard moments. Choosing an approach is a joint process - the therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit, and adjust based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people see each other for more conversational work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat works well for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging is useful for brief reflections or ongoing support between appointments. These options give flexibility to schedule sessions around work and family life and to pick formats that match energy, comfort, and daily routines.
