How Amanda’s approaches work in online sessions
Amanda uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and work through difficult emotions and attachment-based patterns. EFT can be useful when feelings are confusing or when relationship-related emotion patterns keep repeating.She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to each person’s experience, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thought and behavior patterns that maintain distress. CBT offers practical tools for anxiety, mood problems, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on how things are going.
