Background and approach
Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to calm intense emotions and improve day-to-day coping. Her approach focuses on clear tools and steady practice. Amanda often teaches emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills, then helps people apply them to real situations.
Sessions aim to build routines and habits that reduce reactivity and increase a sense of control. With 15 years of experience, Amanda has worked in many settings and with diverse concerns, including trauma, addiction, eating issues, and ADHD. She holds credentials as an LMHC and an LPC and practices in Florida.
Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits their needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online access
Amanda often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT focuses on values-based action so clients can take steps toward a meaningful life even when emotions are hard to bear.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into clear parts so small changes lead to better mood and functioning over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. The process is collaborative and adjusted as progress is noticed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video is useful for longer, interactive sessions while phone calls can work when video is difficult. Live chat or text messaging can be used for quick check-ins and shorter exchanges between appointments. These options aim to provide flexibility so people can keep steady progress despite a packed schedule.
