About Amanda
Amanda Dunn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with eight years of work in mental health. She most often supports adults coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and the everyday strains of parenting and relationships. Amanda also works with people navigating identity concerns, intimacy issues, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue.
Her style focuses on the person in front of her. Sessions are collaborative and practical. She draws from client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral tools to address thoughts and habits that keep problems going.
Amanda has experience helping people process past trauma and manage strong feelings like anger, panic, and dissociation. She also supports those exploring gender dysphoria, non-monogamous relationships, BDSM and alternative sexual cultures, and questions about intimacy and communication. She uses EMDR where it fits a person’s goals.
In sessions she works on small, concrete steps - shifting unhelpful thinking, building coping skills, and improving communication. Mindfulness practices are used to help with stress, sleep, and mood regulation. The Gottman method informs her approach to relationship-focused work in individual sessions.
People who come to Amanda often want straightforward tools and a steady collaborative approach. She asks about goals and life context, then tailors which methods to try. To begin, prospective clients use the site button to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work
Amanda draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people understand patterns and try practical changes. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building goals together, while CBT offers tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. These approaches are useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and communication problems.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when it fits someone’s goals for processing traumatic memories. EMDR involves guided attention and memory-focused work to reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions, and it can be combined with grounding and coping skills for stabilization.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Amanda will talk about goals, try a method, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist choose techniques together rather than committing to one path up front.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists can adjust exercises for video or phone meetings, and practical tools like skill practice, thought records, and EMDR-adapted protocols can be used remotely with guidance.
