About Amanda
Amanda Dunn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with eight years of experience in mental health. She works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, and processing past trauma. Her practice includes support for people navigating relationship and intimacy concerns and for those handling life changes common in young adulthood.
She typically uses straightforward, person-focused care. Sessions emphasize listening, practical skills, and collaborative goal setting. Amanda draws from client-centered practice, cognitive behavioral ideas, EMDR, mindfulness, and relationship work when helpful.
In session she helps people name what feels most urgent and then tries small, workable steps to change day-to-day patterns. That can mean learning techniques for managing panic, trying new ways to talk about needs in relationships, or using mindfulness exercises to calm overactive thinking. For trauma, she may use EMDR-informed methods alongside other supports.
Amanda also works with people exploring gender and sexuality, including those involved in kink, BDSM, and non-monogamous relationship styles. She addresses related challenges like communication problems, isolation, shame, and questions of identity and intimacy.
Her background is mainly in outpatient settings, where she guided clients through transitions such as leaving home, becoming a parent, or returning to work after a difficult period. She asks direct questions, suggests practical homework between sessions, and checks in about what is and isn’t working.
How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work
Amanda commonly uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and EMDR-informed methods. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a therapeutic relationship so people feel heard and can set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns like anxiety or panic. EMDR-informed methods aim to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories through guided processing and may be used for post-traumatic stress and other trauma responses.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their needs and goals. She discusses options openly and adjusts plans based on how a client responds over time.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking. Different formats can help fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins can work around work or study schedules, and audio sessions may use less bandwidth than video. Ask about current session options so you can pick what fits your routine.
