About Amanda
Amanda Dunn is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with eight years of work in mental health settings. She focuses on practical help for people facing anxiety, stress, depression, and processing trauma. Amanda aims to make the first steps feel manageable and supportive.
Her style is warm, straightforward, and collaborative. She centers sessions on each person's needs and goals. Amanda listens first, then offers tools you can try between meetings.
Background and approach
She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person sitting across from her. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try out new habits. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be used to address stuck or painful memories when that fits the situation.
Amanda has worked mainly in outpatient care and has particular experience supporting teens, young adults, and new parents through life transitions. She also helps people facing compassion fatigue, relationship concerns, sleep problems, and questions about gender and sexual expression. She is comfortable discussing nontraditional relationship structures and alternative sexual cultures when relevant to therapy.
In sessions she offers clear information, practical strategies, and steady support as people try changes. She emphasizes authenticity and collaboration - decisions about what to try come together. For someone feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or a big life change, Amanda aims to make progress feel realistic and paced to each person.
Approaches that shape online sessions
Client-centered work means the therapist follows the person's priorities and builds sessions around what matters most to them. This approach helps people feel heard and keeps goals practical and relevant.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and everyday stressors because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a method used to help process painful or stuck memories. When appropriate, it can reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions and make memories easier to manage in daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, try methods together, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide which tools fit goals, comfort, and pace rather than following one fixed plan.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking mood, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and changing needs.
