Amanda Roland

Amanda Roland is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Colorado with five years of practice as an independent clinician. She helps people who feel stuck after change, who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and those wondering about life purpose. Amanda also addresses grief, relationship and parenting concerns, ADHD, addiction, and stress-related difficulties.

Amanda uses a person-centered approach as her foundation. That means she focuses on listening and responding to what each person brings. She also uses practical techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods to spot patterns and try small, testable changes.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Amanda aims to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, practice new skills, and set manageable steps toward clearer choices. She describes her role as a guide who supports people to make their own decisions at a steady pace.

Her background includes work in crisis stabilization, inpatient settings, outpatient treatment, in-home family therapy, and adolescent residential care. She currently partners with the Boulder Police Department as a co-responder, and has experience with first responder issues, foster care and adoption-related concerns, and hospice and end-of-life situations.

Amanda holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from North Dakota State University and a Master of Science in Counseling from The University of Mary. She works in English and practices in Colorado. People considering a first session are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial visit.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work

Amanda often combines a client-centered stance with cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused techniques. Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to the person's concerns and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to find patterns that keep problems going and offers practical exercises to try. Solution-focused methods concentrate on small, achievable steps and what a person wants to see change.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Amanda will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on how useful they feel. That decision happens together rather than being prescribed up front, and it can shift as needs change.

The therapist's listing does not specify session formats here, so confirm exact online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Some people prefer video to work through body language, while others choose audio for lower bandwidth or quicker access. Discussing which format works best is part of the first steps so sessions can fit into everyday routines.
