Amanda Roland, LPC - Therapist in Colorado

About Amanda

Amanda Roland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on family and parenting concerns and related struggles. She offers an accepting, down-to-earth presence for parents and caregivers who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or a history of trauma.

Amanda aims to help people steady their lives, reduce symptoms that are getting in the way, and find healthier ways to relate to themselves and their families. Her style is warm and person-centered.

Background and approach

She works at the clients pace and listens first, then helps set practical goals. Sessions often involve talking through patterns, trying new ways of responding, and learning skills to manage strong emotions and difficult moments. Amanda draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused ideas.

She blends these approaches to match what a person needs in the moment, using concrete tools for stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and trauma symptoms. She also incorporates a client-centered stance that keeps the persons goals front and center.

She holds a Master of Science in Counseling from The University of Mary and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from North Dakota State University. Amanda is licensed in Colorado as LPC number LPC.0016396 and has five years of licensed experience.

Outside of personal work she serves as a Co-Responder with the Boulder Police Department and has background in crisis stabilization, inpatient and outpatient work, in-home family therapy, adolescent residential treatment, and animal-assisted interventions. Amanda provides services in English and practices from Colorado.

Approaches that translate well to online family care

Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding the parent or caregiver first. It helps people feel heard and figure out what matters most to them in family life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, brings skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication that can be useful for intense family moments or parenting stress.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Amanda collaborates with each person to choose and adapt tools based on goals, needs, and daily life. She adjusts pace and techniques during sessions so the approach fits the family situation and the individual's preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to continue work between meetings. Many people find the variety helps them practice skills when challenges come up at home and keeps progress moving forward even when life is hectic.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
