Amanda Roland

Amanda Roland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people facing trauma, grief, anxiety, and major life changes. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through painful experiences, confusing emotions, and patterns that get in the way of day-to-day life. Amanda frames therapy as a steady, collaborative process where clients set the pace and goals.

Her style is person-centered and warm. She listens first, then helps people name what matters most to them. Amanda blends that human-centered approach with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused work. These tools are used to reduce distress and build practical skills for managing emotions and behavior.

Amanda has five years as an LPC and a longer history in mental health roles going back to 2007. Her background includes crisis stabilization, inpatient and outpatient settings, adolescent residential work, and in-home family therapy. She also works as a co-responder with the Boulder Police Department, which informs how she responds in high-stress situations.

She has experience supporting people dealing with adoption and foster care, attachment issues, parenting strains, first responder concerns, and end-of-life counseling, among other areas. Amanda emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes, and she works with each person to create realistic steps toward their goals.

Outside of clinical work she enjoys time outdoors and has a strong affinity for animals, which has informed past work with animal-assisted and equine approaches.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work

Amanda often draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people clarify their own goals and values. It helps when someone needs a calm space to sort through feelings and decide what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday struggles where skills practice makes a difference.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans so sessions stay relevant to current goals and life demands.

Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy schedules, makes it easier to keep continuity during life changes, and supports focused skill-building between meetings. Talk with the therapist when you schedule to learn which session options are offered and what will best suit your routine.
