About Amanda
Amanda has worked primarily in Los Angeles County, offering treatment to people facing depression, anxiety, trauma-related disorders, substance use challenges, and severe, persistent mental illnesses. Her clinical training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Problem Solving Treatment, and Mindfulness Therapy, and she brings extensive experience in crisis intervention, risk assessment, and helping others build practical coping strategies. She emphasizes acceptance and support as core elements of therapy and views the decision to seek help as an important first step toward growth. Amanda approaches each person with compassion and a focus on empowering them to develop healthier patterns and greater resilience.
Applying CBT and Mindfulness in Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. In practice this often involves setting clear goals, testing beliefs against evidence, and developing practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental observation of thoughts and feelings. It can support stress reduction, emotional regulation, and greater tolerance for difficult experiences.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amanda works collaboratively to explore what methods align with a person's needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so the work fits each client’s life. The therapist-client relationship guides those decisions and is shaped together.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other commitments, and they allow continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible. For many people, remote sessions make consistent progress more practical and sustainable while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who focus on measurable, evidence-informed strategies.
