About Amanda
Amanda Roland, LPC, Colorado, has five years of clinical practice as a licensed professional counselor. She focuses on trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, ADHD, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with major life changes. Amanda uses client-centered methods and draws on CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused approaches to help people address specific problems and daily struggles.
Amanda describes her role as a collaborator rather than an adviser. She helps people talk through patterns and behaviors that get in the way. Sessions emphasize clear goals and practical steps alongside listening and reflection.
Her training includes a Master of Science in Counseling from The University of Mary and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from North Dakota State University. She also has experience in crisis stabilization and inpatient settings, and has worked with animal-assisted and equine approaches.
Amanda has a background involving work with teens, foster care settings, and first responder programs, and currently serves as a co-responder with the Boulder Police Department. That background informs how she addresses trauma, post-traumatic stress, and first responder issues in clinical work.
Sessions combine conversational, skills-based, and goal-oriented methods. People meet to review coping skills, practice behavioral changes, and set short-term targets. The overall aim is clearer thinking and better daily functioning rather than brief slogans or vague promises.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Amanda uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in her practice. Client-centered work focuses on listening and helping the person set their own goals. It helps people who need a reflective space to sort priorities and make decisions. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. That approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills teach concrete techniques for managing strong emotions and improving communication. Amanda treats choosing a method as a collaborative step. She and the client review needs, goals, and preferences and then agree on the most useful approaches to try. Adjustments are made as work progresses so the plan stays relevant to daily life.
Confirm the session formats before booking because current session options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer not being on camera or need sessions that fit a work break; those practical choices are part of planning sessions rather than clinical decisions.
