Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well Online
Amanda Phillips draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online setting for concerns like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma-related stress, and depression.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. It can help clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns, practice new coping skills, and build more supportive routines over time. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes making room for difficult emotions while taking actions guided by personal values. This approach can be especially helpful when clients feel stuck, overwhelmed, or pulled off course by anxiety or painful memories. For relationship concerns, the Gottman Method offers structured, practical strategies to improve communication, strengthen connection, and navigate conflict more constructively.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what has or has not been helpful before, then tailors sessions so the work feels relevant and workable.
Online therapy also makes support more accessible. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, and can use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility between sessions and around busy schedules.
