About Amanda
Amanda Dunn is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and the effects of past trauma. Amanda works plainly and directly, offering steady support as people figure out next steps.
She developed much of her early work in outpatient settings and has spent time helping teens, young adults, and new parents. Her background includes many common concerns people bring to therapy, such as sleep problems, relationship and intimacy struggles, parenting stress, and identity questions related to LGBT and gender dysphoria.
Background and approach
Amanda’s style is warm and client-centered. She listens first and tailors tools to each person’s needs. Sessions often include gentle skill-building and practical strategies to manage strong emotions and difficult situations.
She commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity. Amanda also uses EMDR when trauma memories are part of the problem and Gottman Method ideas when communication and relationship patterns are a focus. In sessions she aims for clear goals and small steps that fit everyday life.
She emphasizes collaboration, helping people choose approaches that match their values and schedules. For many clients this means learning new ways to respond to stress and anger, and practicing those skills between meetings.

Approaches that translate well to online work
Amanda commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening, empathy, and following what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to set their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and improve mood.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, when trauma memories are a central concern. EMDR combines focused attention on distressing memories with guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation to reduce emotional intensity and help reprocess those memories safely in session.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That might mean starting with skill-building, adding mindfulness practices, or using EMDR for trauma, depending on what feels most useful.
Online therapy makes these options flexible. Video calls allow full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter, simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, between-session coaching, or people who prefer writing. These formats let therapy fit into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or travel without losing continuity of care.
