Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Amanda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy often in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is helpful for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Amanda works together with each person to decide what methods to try first and adjusts the plan as needs and goals change. This collaborative process helps match techniques to where someone is in their life and healing journey.
