Amanda Roland

Amanda Roland, LPC, provides a steady, compassionate place to talk when life feels overwhelming. She helps people facing trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and questions about life purpose. Amanda aims to offer a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can share their story and set goals at their own pace.

Amanda draws mainly from a person-centered, client-focused way of working that emphasizes listening and meeting people where they are. She also uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice patterns and try new coping strategies. Sessions focus on clear steps people can take between meetings and on building skills for everyday struggles.

Her background includes work across crisis stabilization, inpatient and outpatient care, adolescent residential treatment, and in-home family therapy. Amanda has experience with trauma, foster care and adoption issues, and first responder-related concerns through her role as a Co-Responder with the Boulder Police Department. She holds a Master of Science in Counseling and has worked in mental health roles since 2007.

Amanda aims to balance gentle support with practical progress. She partners with each person to set realistic goals, practice new skills, and reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life. Her approach is collaborative and paced to fit each person’s needs.

Because Amanda lists hospice and end-of-life counseling among her focus areas, she can address grief and decisions that come with serious illness and loss. People interested in starting can use the site’s Start Therapy button to begin the matching process.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online therapy

Amanda uses a client-centered approach that emphasizes listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are. This means therapy starts with understanding personal goals and building a respectful, steady relationship before moving to problem solving.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and to test small changes that lead to different outcomes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication when feelings become intense; those tools are helpful for managing strong emotions and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together they will choose which methods to try. She treats the choice as a collaboration and adjusts methods if they are not helping.

Session formats are not specified in her biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT skills to remote settings so people can practice techniques between sessions and track progress over time.
