About Amanda
Amanda Roland is a Licensed Professional Counselor working in Colorado who helps people facing trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, and struggles with self-esteem. She offers a calm, steady presence and aims to create a welcoming space to share what’s on your mind. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental and she focuses on small, practical steps toward clearer thinking and better coping.
Amanda draws mainly from client-centered principles, meeting people where they are and letting the pace be set by the client.
Background and approach
She also uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address unhelpful thinking and build practical skills. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies help with grounding, short-term goals, and shifting patterns that get in the way. Her background includes a Master of Science in Counseling and prior work across crisis stabilization, inpatient care, outpatient treatment, and adolescent residential settings.
That experience informs how she supports people through intense moments and life transitions. Amanda also works as a co-responder with a local police department, which adds experience with first responder concerns. Sessions typically focus on understanding negative patterns, strengthening coping skills, and setting manageable goals.
She emphasizes collaboration - clients set the direction and she helps them read the map. Amanda has five years as an LPC and a longer history in mental health work that informs her approach. Outside of clinical work she enjoys time outdoors and caring for animals, interests that sometimes influence therapeutic tools and activities.
Approaches that shape online care
Amanda commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment, following each person's pace, and building a trusting connection that helps people clarify what matters to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical steps to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotional regulation and boundary-setting are priorities. DBT offers clear strategies for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness in everyday situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest methods that fit. Decisions about technique are collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for different schedules and situations. Video lets people use body language and visual cues; phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited; live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, homework check-ins, or people who prefer typing. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives while still working on clear goals and coping skills.
