About Amanda
She focuses on practical, concrete steps in sessions. Conversations often cover communication skills, setting boundaries, and restoring trust. Dr. Nicholson uses a mix of therapy styles to match what each person needs rather than one fixed method.
Clients bring concerns such as relationship strain, issues with intimacy, sexual trauma, low self-esteem, grief, and career stress. She also helps with workplace issues, forgiveness, and coping with divorce or separation. Sessions emphasize clear goals and progress that people can notice between meetings.
Her approach blends attachment ideas with cognitive techniques and narrative work to help people understand patterns and try new behaviors. She includes mindfulness exercises to calm strong emotions and the Gottman Method when couples want to repair communication and rebuild connection.

Approaches that shape online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current partnerships. It helps people notice connection and distance in close relationships and try new ways of relating to feel safer and more connected.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and build healthier behavior patterns for stress, low mood, and anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences and then recommend which methods to try. This is a collaborative process with adjustments as progress and needs change.
Confirm which session formats Dr. Nicholson currently offers before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between appointments. Different formats can also help when video is difficult by offering shorter or audio-only check-ins, depending on the therapist's available services.
