About Amanda
She draws on ten years of clinical experience in community and residential settings. Her background includes work with adolescents, adults, and couples in both faith-based and secular programs. Over the years she has assisted with intake assessments, crisis management, and group and individual sessions across a range of needs.
Amanda uses a mix of approaches to match a person’s situation. She practices client-centered care to follow the client’s lead, cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior, and trauma-focused work for people processing difficult past events. She also incorporates narrative and solution-focused elements when they fit the goals.
Her training and early work included support for people in high-stress circumstances, such as temporarily homeless families and adolescents in residential programs. She has experience helping people navigate suicide risk assessment and in-patient referrals when needed, and she has co-facilitated therapeutic groups for various ages.
Amanda brings a faith-informed perspective and will honor each client’s personal beliefs while focusing on the goals they set together. To begin, she asks people to be active participants so therapy can be a collaborative effort toward practical change.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Amanda blends several practical approaches so sessions focus on what you most need. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening to your concerns and following your goals, helping people make decisions and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences, and she adapts methods as progress is made. Clients and therapist decide together which strategies to use and when to try something different.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session options before booking. Practical benefits often include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, avoiding travel time, and choosing a setup that makes it easier to attend regularly. Online work can make check-ins simpler on hectic days and allow therapy to be part of everyday life while you focus on healing and skill-building.
