About Amanda
Amanda Roland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with five years of LPC experience. She works with people facing trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship and family struggles, and concerns such as guilt and shame. Amanda also addresses issues like ADHD, addiction, and coping with life changes.
Amanda uses a person-centered style that focuses on listening and collaborating. She helps people talk through patterns that feel stuck and identify practical steps toward goals. Sessions are paced to match each person’s readiness rather than pushing a fixed agenda.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills may be used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Solution-Focused and mindfulness techniques are also part of her approach when they fit the work.
Amanda has a broader background in crisis stabilization, inpatient and outpatient treatment, trauma work, and adolescent residential care. She serves as a Co-Responder with the Boulder Police Department and has experience with first responder issues and foster care contexts.
Her formal education includes a Master of Science in Counseling from The University of Mary and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from North Dakota State University. Amanda mentions experience with animal-assisted and equine therapies in past roles and prefers working collaboratively as clients set their own direction in therapy.
How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work
Amanda often combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in session. Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them set their own pace and goals. CBT focuses on identifying troublesome thoughts and testing practical ways to change behaviors and mood.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when helpful, which includes concrete practices for managing intense emotions and tolerating distress. These DBT-informed tools can be practiced between sessions and used for situations like overwhelming guilt or anxiety.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Amanda will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level rather than prescribing one fixed method. This planning happens together during the first few sessions and can be adjusted over time.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly adapt CBT and DBT tools for remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings.
