How Amanda applies therapy approaches in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the person and responding to what matters most to them. The therapist mirrors concerns, asks questions, and helps people clarify goals so sessions are shaped around the client's priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping. These practices are often used alongside CBT exercises to manage symptoms and build resilience.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can be adjusted over time based on how sessions progress.
