About Amanda
Amanda Roland is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor based in Colorado with five years of post-licensure clinical experience and a longer history in mental health work. She helps people who are coping with trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, relationship and family concerns, and problems related to parenting. Her practice also addresses compassion fatigue, addictions, bipolar concerns, and coping with life changes.
Amanda uses a direct, person-focused way of working. Sessions involve talking through patterns that feel stuck, learning practical skills to manage mood and stress, and setting small, realistic goals. She draws on Client-Centered methods while also using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques, mindfulness, and solution-focused tools where they fit the issue.
She describes her role as guiding rather than giving advice. Amanda helps clients weigh options, try new strategies, and notice what changes help. Sessions can include skills practice, thought work, and problem-solving tailored to everyday life demands like parenting or work stress.
Amanda's background includes crisis stabilization, inpatient and outpatient treatment, in-home family work, adolescent residential care, and animal-assisted approaches. She has experience with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, first responder-related stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and adolescent trauma.
People meet her as someone with clinical experience alongside a practical style. She trained at The University of Mary and North Dakota State University and currently does co-responder work with the Boulder Police Department. Sessions are offered in English and are intended for adults seeking support with family and parenting-related strains.
How sessions work
How Amanda uses evidence-based approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person's own pace of change. It helps when someone needs a non-directive space to sort priorities and make choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be useful for relationship and parenting stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. She may combine elements from these approaches and adjust them as progress is made and goals shift.
Confirm the available session formats before you schedule, since specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, or caregiving duties and may allow for shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera. Ask about how sessions are structured so they match your schedule and practical needs.
