Evidence-Informed Therapy, Designed for Online Support

Dr. Amanda Baker, LMFT, draws from several well-established therapy approaches and adapts them to what a client wants to work on, including relationship concerns, trauma-related stress, anxiety, and intimacy issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It can be especially helpful for identifying patterns that keep anxiety, low mood, or relationship conflict going, and for practicing new ways of responding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in making room for difficult thoughts or emotions while choosing actions that align with personal values, which can be useful when life feels stuck or overwhelming. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape trust, closeness, and communication, helping clients strengthen connection and address recurring relational patterns.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Dr. Baker works collaboratively, checking in on goals, preferences, and what feels most useful so the approach can be adjusted over time in a way that matches the client’s needs.

Online therapy can make getting support more accessible and flexible. Sessions may take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to stay consistent even with a busy schedule or changing demands.
