About Amanda
Amanda Crossland is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and other mood concerns. She speaks plain language and offers calm, steady support for people trying to make changes in day-to-day life. Amanda aims to create a welcoming space where clients can talk through what feels overwhelming and start taking practical steps forward.
Her style blends listening with focused strategies. She uses approaches like client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior strategies to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skill practice, goal setting, and gentle reflection rather than lengthy theory discussions. Amanda has seven years of experience as a counselor and holds a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grace University in Omaha, Nebraska. She is a Colorado LPC.
Her background includes work that integrates a person’s values and life story into therapy. In practice she pays attention to both the big picture and small details. That means she helps people connect present struggles to past patterns while building concrete skills for daily life.
She can support people dealing with addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Amanda describes herself as a creative thinker who works collaboratively to identify manageable steps toward change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Amanda uses client-centered work to start sessions by listening to what matters most to the person in front of her and shaping the conversation around those priorities. This approach helps clients feel heard and keeps goals practical and relevant.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, anger, and mood challenges because it breaks problems into manageable steps and offers concrete exercises to practice between sessions.
Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. These skills help people manage intense feelings, reduce impulsive reactions, and improve everyday functioning.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Amanda works with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, values, and pace. Together they try ideas, see what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone works well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options help people fit counseling into work, family, and daily life.
