Practical, evidence-informed therapy - from wherever you are
Amanda Phillips draws from evidence-informed approaches that can translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other, and it can be especially helpful for stress, anxiety, and depression by building practical skills for day-to-day coping.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in making room for difficult emotions while reconnecting with personal values, helping people move toward what matters even when life feels heavy or complicated. For relationship concerns, the Gottman Method brings structure to improving communication, strengthening connection, and reducing patterns that keep couples stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda collaborates with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and current challenges, then adjusts the work over time so therapy feels relevant and usable in real life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule, keep momentum between sessions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable from week to week.
