How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online session options
Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in ways that translate well to online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anger and anxiety. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to manage strong reactions and improve communication.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the tone collaborative and responsive. That means the therapist and client will discuss which tools feel most useful and adjust the plan together. Deciding on an approach is an ongoing conversation based on the client’s goals, preferences, and what works in practice.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, avoid commuting, or choose shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some people find phone or video sessions help maintain continuity between appointments and practice skills in everyday settings. Ask about available formats to pick what fits your routine and needs.
