01About Amanda

Amanda Cook is a licensed therapist in Maryland with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who struggle with addictions, anger, self-esteem, and relationship or family tensions. Amanda creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they feel and begin to make changes.

Her approach is straightforward and person-centered. She listens closely to each person's story and follows their lead when deciding what to address.

Background and approach

This helps people feel heard and keeps work focused on what matters most to them. Amanda also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. She asks questions that clarify values and goals, and gently guides people toward practical next steps.

That method is useful when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about changing a behavior. Sessions involve clear conversation about goals and doable strategies. Amanda helps people practice new ways to communicate, manage anger, and repair strained relationships.

She also supports work on forgiveness, guilt, and shame in ways that respect each person’s pace. Starting often means small, concrete steps. Amanda helps people set simple targets they can try between sessions.

Over time those small changes add up and become new habits.

How Amanda's Approaches Work Online

Amanda uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's experience. That means she listens without judgment and helps clients identify what matters most to them. It is a good fit when someone needs space to talk through feelings and decide next steps on their own terms.

She also uses motivational interviewing to support people who are unsure about change. This approach centers on drawing out a person’s own reasons for shifting behavior and creating small, achievable goals. It works well for addictions, managing anger, and improving self-esteem when motivation is mixed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will discuss these methods and recommend what to try based on the client’s goals and preferences. The selection of technique is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different routines and needs. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and hold deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support short updates, coaching between sessions, or a way to share thoughts without scheduling a call. These options help people fit therapy into a busy life.
