Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Dr. Amanda Antis



Dr. Antis integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and commit to meaningful behavior changes even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, and making changes that align with what matters most to a person. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns; CBT is effective for symptoms of depression, anxiety, and coping with life transitions. When appropriate, she draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people who struggle with intense emotions or relationship instability.

Finding the best approach is part of the collaborative process. Dr. Antis works with each client to assess needs, explore goals, and tailor techniques from these modalities so that treatment fits the client's preferences and real-life circumstances.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life changes, and access consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of location within the state.
