About Amanda
Amanda Roland is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Colorado with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on concerns like trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and family issues, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, addiction, and coping with life changes. Amanda works with adults navigating big transitions and painful events, helping them sort through what feels stuck and what matters most.
Amanda draws from client-centered practice, keeping conversations focused on the person's experience and priorities. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused work to help people identify unhelpful patterns and practice different responses. Sessions are conversational and practical, with attention to skills that can be used between meetings. Amanda earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from North Dakota State University and a Master of Science in Counseling from the University of Mary. She has additional training in crisis counseling, trauma work, and equine therapy. Her clinical history includes work with foster children and teens, though her current focus is on adults navigating major life stressors. In sessions Amanda talks through current problems, helps set clear goals, and practices skills like emotion regulation, grounding, and behavioral experiments. She aims for steady, respectful collaboration so people can make practical changes at their own pace.
How her approaches translate to online work
Amanda blends client-centered listening with practical, skills-based methods. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience and priorities, helping them clarify goals and make choices at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses exercises to test and change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or low motivation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Amanda will talk with each person about their concerns, try different methods, and adjust what they use based on progress and preference. That means sessions can shift from skill practice to problem solving or deeper processing as needed.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, or commuting by removing travel time and allowing appointments from a place that suits the schedule. Some approaches lend themselves to short skills check-ins while others use longer sessions for in-depth work, and Amanda will help decide what fits a person’s goals and life rhythm.
