Remote care built around skills, trauma focus, and motivation
Amanda integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to structure online sessions that balance skills practice with trauma processing. DBT provides tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, while TF-CBT offers a phased approach to address traumatic memories and related symptoms in a paced way. Sessions aim to combine skill development with attention to past and present patterns.
Motivational interviewing is used alongside these approaches to support readiness for change and to help clients identify personal goals and the steps they want to take. Amanda’s style is collaborative and structured; she and the client work together to set priorities and track progress. She offers multiple communication formats for remote work, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing flexibility in how therapeutic conversations and skills practice occur.
