About Amanda

Amanda Dunn is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with eight years in the mental health field. She brings a calm, down-to-earth manner to sessions and aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, and low self esteem. Amanda often works with new parents, teens, and young adults who are learning to cope with life changes and emotional overwhelm.

Before shifting into outpatient counseling, Amanda gained experience across community settings where she focused on mood concerns and trauma. She uses straightforward methods to help people notice patterns, reduce intense reactions, and build clearer habits for daily life. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps alongside chances to reflect on past events.

Amanda uses a client-centered approach that keeps each person’s goals in view. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to map thoughts and behaviors, and on EMDR when processing trauma is appropriate. Mindfulness practices appear in session to help with grounding and managing stress.

Her style is collaborative and warm. She invites people to set the pace and works together to choose strategies that fit each person’s situation. Amanda emphasizes honesty and real-world tools over jargon.

People come to her for help with depression, panic, sleep problems, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and issues tied to identity such as gender dysphoria and LGBT stress. She also supports those exploring kink, polyamory, and alternative sex cultures who want practical guidance and nonjudgmental discussion.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How Amanda Uses Different Approaches Online

Amanda often uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions focus on each person’s goals and what feels most helpful to them. This approach emphasizes listening, reflecting what you say, and working together to choose next steps.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people spot unhelpful thought patterns and test practical behavior changes. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, panic, and sleep problems because it breaks worries into manageable steps.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is another tool Amanda may use when past trauma is part of the concern. EMDR works by helping people reprocess distressing memories so they have less intensity in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will talk with each person about their goals, try techniques that fit, and adjust as needed. She checks in about what helps and what doesn’t, so the plan can change over time.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Many people find online options helpful for fitting therapy into work, family, and school schedules. They can make it easier to attend shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or choose a quieter time of day for a session. Licensed professionals can also adapt techniques like CBT and mindfulness to work in online settings, and EMDR protocols are commonly adapted for remote delivery when appropriate.
