About Amanda
Amanda Roland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who focuses on helping people navigate trauma, grief, anxiety, stress, and the disruptions that make daily life harder. She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can tell their story and set goals at a comfortable pace. Amanda aims to help people identify unhelpful patterns and find steadier ways to cope.
Her approach draws heavily from client-centered care, meaning she works to meet each person where they are. Amanda also uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies are woven into sessions to help clients build skills and notice small changes over time.
Amanda has five years as an LPC and a longer history in mental health work that began in 2007. She holds a Master of Science in Counseling from The University of Mary and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from North Dakota State University. That background includes crisis stabilization, inpatient and outpatient treatment, adolescent residential work, and in-home family therapy.
She currently serves as a Co-Responder with the Boulder Police Department and has experience with first responder issues. Amanda has also worked with teens and foster children and has additional interest in adoption and foster care and attachment concerns. She enjoys animals and the outdoors and has used equine therapy in her work.
In sessions she aims to be empathic and steady rather than directive. Clients set the pace and Amanda offers support, reflection, and practical strategies to help with coping, self-esteem, and life transitions.
How Amanda’s Approaches Shape Online Therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. It supports people who need a steady, empathic space to make decisions and heal. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers clear, practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skill-based strategies for managing intense emotions and improving coping during crisis or high stress.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Amanda will work collaboratively with the person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts the mix of listening, practical exercises, and skills practice so the plan feels useful and doable in everyday life.
