About Amanda
Amanda Dunn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with eight years of experience in mental health. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and parenting concerns. Amanda also supports people navigating gender dysphoria, LGBT matters, and alternative sex culture including BDSM and kink topics.
She takes a client-centered approach and uses practical methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. In sessions she focuses on clear strategies and conversational work rather than labels. Her style is collaborative and direct; she helps clients set goals and practices small changes between sessions.
Amanda also offers trauma-focused support and draws on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing where appropriate. That work is paced to the person and combined with grounding and coping skills for managing intense feelings and dissociation. She aims to help people reduce overwhelming reactions and improve day-to-day functioning.
For relationship concerns she brings elements of the Gottman Method alongside communication skill building. With parenting and sleep issues she uses behavioral strategies alongside stress-reduction practices. Amanda pays attention to how life transitions, isolation, or compassion fatigue affect mood and relationships.
She works in straightforward language and encourages practical steps clients can try between sessions. To begin, the usual process is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment through the online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work
Amanda commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in her practice. Client-Centered work focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the person, helping them shape goals and next steps. CBT breaks down unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and provides concrete exercises to change them. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that works with distressing memories through paced processing and stabilization techniques.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Amanda will discuss options with each person, weigh goals and comfort level, and try methods that fit the situation. That process can include mixing brief skills-based work with deeper trauma processing when needed.
Confirm the specific online session formats before booking, because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel for appointments. Therapists often adapt interventions like CBT exercises, mindfulness practice, and trauma-focused EMDR to work through video or phone formats, but check the available options when you schedule.
