Amanda Dunn , LPC

Amanda Dunn, MA, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Colorado who brings 8 years of clinical experience to her work with teens, young adults, new parents, and adults navigating anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma. She trained at the graduate level, holding a Master of Arts degree, and maintains licensure as an LPC - a mental health counselor credential in Colorado that reflects her clinical training and supervision. Amanda has spent much of her career working in outpatient settings, helping people process past wounds and build skills for day-to-day life.

Amanda’s approach is warm, client-centered, and eclectic. She meets each person where they are and adapts interventions to fit individual needs, often drawing on cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, and trauma-focused methods such as EMDR when appropriate. She emphasizes collaboration and authenticity, partnering with clients to set practical goals and practice new ways of coping. Her areas of focus extend beyond anxiety and depression to include relationship and family concerns, sexual and gender identity matters, kink and alternative sex culture, parenting challenges, sleep difficulties, compassion fatigue, and a range of mood and stress-related issues.

Amanda values providing education, validation, and concrete tools while supporting clients as they make changes at their own pace. She frames therapy as a cooperative process and aims to help people strengthen self-compassion, communication, and resilience as they work toward meaningful life changes.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Sessions

Amanda frequently uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and tailoring sessions to each person’s priorities. This approach helps people feel seen and helps guide collaborative goal setting based on the client’s values and experiences.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - a practical method that examines connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches skills to manage anxiety, mood, and stress. For clients processing trauma, Amanda may integrate EMDR, a trauma-focused technique that supports reprocessing distressing memories and alleviating their ongoing impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Amanda works collaboratively with clients to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and comfort level, adjusting methods over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules, reduces travel time, and can make it easier to maintain continuity of care. These options allow clients to choose the format that best supports their participation and engagement, while licensed professionals guide the process and adapt interventions to work well in a virtual setting.
