People often come to her for help with grief, trauma, relationship strain, parenting stress, career concerns, and life transitions. She also addresses attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, and issues related to pregnancy and childbirth.
Amanda works in English and is licensed as an LCSW in Maine. She encourages a collaborative process where goals and pacing are decided together, and she supports clients as they practice changes between sessions.
How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work
Amanda blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person's lead, reflecting their concerns, and building on strengths to set practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs and preferences. Together they check how techniques feel in real life and adjust the plan if something isn't helping.
