She works with adults tackling career questions, relationship strain, grief, and life transitions. Her approach is respectful and straightforward, aimed at practical change rather than jargon.
Amanda frames therapy as a collaboration. She listens first to understand each person’s priorities and then shapes sessions around those goals. Conversations focus on building skills, shifting unhelpful patterns, and strengthening motivation so daily life feels more manageable.
She combines methods from several approaches to match what a person needs that week. Techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral work help with anxious thinking and mood shifts. Client-centered strategies keep the session grounded in what matters to the client.
Amanda has ten years in the field and holds an LPC, which means she is a licensed professional counselor in Michigan. That background includes helping people cope after traumatic events and guiding those who face ongoing stress or burnout.
Her style is calm and compassionate. She aims to create clear next steps in each session so progress is visible. If someone is dealing with the fallout of a disaster or sudden change, she helps them focus on immediate needs and longer-term recovery.
How Amanda’s approaches shape online work
Amanda draws on cognitive behavioral methods and client-centered therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Client-centered therapy keeps conversations focused on the client’s priorities, with the therapist following the client’s lead and offering reflective feedback.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means adjusting techniques over time and checking in about what helps most.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking. Amanda’s background makes her familiar with supporting people who face trauma, disaster-related stress, or ongoing anxiety. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit therapy into a busy week, and it can be useful when someone prefers shorter check-ins or needs to avoid travel. Ask about current session formats when you set up the first appointment so you know what to expect.
