About Amanda

Amanda Crossland is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and money and financial issues. She offers a calm, listening presence and aims to help people make practical changes that improve daily life. Her style is accepting and straightforward, and she focuses on small steps clients can try between sessions.

Amanda uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs rather than one fixed method. She draws on client-centered work to keep sessions focused on what matters to the individual. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage strong emotions.

Her background includes seven years of clinical experience and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grace University in Omaha, Nebraska. She holds an LPC credential in Colorado. Amanda describes herself as a creative thinker who notices both the big picture and the details needed to make change.

In sessions she listens first and helps people set realistic goals. She can help someone facing life changes, trouble with self-esteem, issues tied to family of origin, or struggles like bipolar mood shifts and ADHD symptoms. She also addresses concerns such as codependency, communication problems, control issues, and feelings of emptiness.

People who sign up complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Amanda encourages a collaborative process where the client’s goals guide the work together.

How key approaches shape online therapy

Amanda uses client-centered work to keep conversations focused on each person’s needs and goals. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so the client helps guide what matters most in sessions.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and functioning. CBT offers practical exercises and coping skills people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or address unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda works collaboratively to decide what methods fit a client’s goals and preferences. She adapts techniques as needs change, and she will check in regularly to see what is helping and what should shift.
