About Amanda
Amanda Crossland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and family of origin issues. She also supports people dealing with anger, low self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and major life changes.
Amanda keeps language simple in sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. She uses an eclectic mix of approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. Sessions often involve listening, clarifying patterns that started in childhood, and trying small changes to test what helps.
Her clinical background includes a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grace University, earned in 2014. She holds the LPC credential in Colorado. Her training history includes coursework and post-graduate work in cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavioral approaches alongside work with EMDR and motivational interviewing methods.
In a typical meeting Amanda helps people name recurring roles and expectations from their family of origin. She looks at how those early patterns affect current relationships, mood, and decision-making. Conversations can cover boundaries, communication problems, codependency, and coping tactics for dissociation or overwhelming emotions.
Practical tools are a feature of her approach. That can mean learning short grounding or emotion regulation skills, trying new ways to communicate, or setting stepped goals for change. People are invited to pick what feels manageable and to reassess it over time.
How Amanda uses evidence-based approaches online
Amanda commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on what the person brings. This approach centers the person's perspective and helps clarify goals and values. It is useful when someone needs a space to be heard and to decide what changes matter to them.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT offers concrete exercises for anxiety, depression, and attention-related struggles. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used for emotion regulation and coping when feelings feel overwhelming, providing short practical strategies to reduce reactivity.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and adjust approaches as progress is reviewed. That collaborative decision-making helps match techniques to the person's needs.
