Approaches that translate to online work

Amanda uses approaches that adapt well to remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for depression, low motivation, and problems with meaning.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Clients learn simple tools to test thoughts and try different actions to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling impulsive urges. It can be helpful when emotions feel overwhelming.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adjust the plan if something does not fit.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking. This profile does not list the formats used, so check what the therapist currently offers. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can focus on the therapeutic tasks.
