In conversation she prioritizes listening first, then offers approaches that match a client’s goals.

That might look like learning coping skills for moments of panic, planning manageable changes for daily routine, or talking through grief and forgiveness at a pace that feels right.

Online support

Approach and options for online therapy

Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage difficult emotions and life changes. She focuses on approaches that teach concrete coping skills for anxiety and panic, such as breathing and grounding practices that calm immediate distress. She also uses methods that support processing grief and loss by helping people make sense of painful experiences and find manageable steps toward healing.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different techniques to see what fits. Together you will decide which methods feel most helpful and adjust them as needs change over time.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversations, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care during transitions.
