How Amanda uses ACT, CBT and client-centered work online
Amanda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small actions that match those values even when emotions are difficult. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and decisions in blended households where priorities clash.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and test out different behaviors. CBT is practical for stress, mood shifts, and repetitive worries that crop up during life transitions like remarriage or co-parenting changes.
Client-Centered Therapy and mindfulness methods slow the pace of sessions. They create space to notice feelings and increases awareness of day-to-day patterns that affect relationships and parenting roles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their goals and preferences. She revisits methods as needs change and keeps the focus on what works in daily life.
