How ACT and CBT inform online care

Amanda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in ways that are easy to use during online sessions. ACT focuses on noticing what matters most to you and practicing small steps that line up with those values, which can help with grief, life changes, and trauma recovery. CBT looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and helps you test and change them with practical exercises and short experiments.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Amanda will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That may mean blending ACT and CBT or trying different techniques until something clicks.

If you plan to try online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not possible, and let people use approaches like skills practice and homework between meetings. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises to the online setting so progress stays practical and focused on everyday life.
