About Amanda
Amanda Crossland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health. Common concerns she works with include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy questions, and life purpose concerns.
She uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear conversations. Amanda listens and helps clients notice patterns that keep them stuck, then tries small experiments to test new ways of coping.
Her background includes a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grace University in Omaha, Nebraska. Amanda combines skills from client-centered work with cognitive and behavioral strategies. She also draws on dialectical behavior ideas and motivational interviewing when helpful.
In practice she helps people untangle issues such as codependency, family of origin problems, control issues, dissociation, anger, and feelings of emptiness. She also addresses career questions, money and financial worries, and mood disorders including bipolar concerns.
Amanda frames sessions as a collaborative process. She aims to clarify what matters now and to find small, doable changes clients can try between meetings. People who want to talk through next steps in life purpose or coping with major change often seek her out.
How her therapeutic approaches work for online support
Amanda draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as primary tools. Client-centered work focuses on listening and helping the client name what matters right now, which can help when someone feels directionless. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and test new ways of acting.She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Those tools can be useful for anger, intense mood swings, or when coping strategies feel overwhelmed. The therapist and client decide together which approaches to emphasize based on goals and what feels most useful.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. A collaborative discussion in the first sessions will identify which methods and scheduling patterns fit your routine and goals.
