How Amanda uses practical therapies online
Amanda commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing new, concrete actions to reduce stress and mood symptoms. Mindfulness therapy trains attention and awareness to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and emotion regulation.She also uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify goals and find internal reasons to change. That approach is useful for addictions, impulsivity, and commitment to new habits. Amanda treats choice of method as collaborative and will work with each person to find a mix that fits their needs and goals.
