How Amanda works
The work tends to focus on practical steps and clearer thinking, alongside attention to strong feelings and past hurts. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, in Colorado and has seven years of clinical experience. Amanda earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grace University in Omaha, Nebraska in 2014.
Her background includes training across several therapy methods to match different needs. Her clinical approach draws from client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, and EMDR. These tools let her shift between talking through daily problems, practicing coping skills, and addressing past trauma when that is important.
Amanda aims for straightforward, collaborative work. She helps people set goals, try steps between sessions, and notice what changes. Her style is practical and steady, with room for creativity and meaning as clients rebuild routines and purpose.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Amanda uses client-centered work to build trust and focus on what matters most to each person. This approach means she listens closely and helps people set goals that feel real and manageable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with practical strategies for mood and anxiety. CBT often involves simple exercises to try between sessions to change daily habits and thoughts.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She may combine listening-based work, CBT skills, DBT-style coping strategies, or trauma-focused techniques depending on what the client needs most.
Online therapy allows flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or sending quick coping ideas between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep steady momentum toward goals.
