Amanda Dunn, LPC

Amanda Dunn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado. She has eight years of experience in mental health settings and focuses on helping people facing anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma. Amanda aims to make therapy approachable and clear for people who feel overwhelmed or unsure about starting care.

Amanda takes a warm, client-centered approach. She listens first, then tailors tools and strategies to each person's needs. Sessions tend to be collaborative conversations where goals are agreed on together.

Her work often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, and elements of EMDR and the Gottman Method when appropriate. She draws from a few different methods so the plan fits what a person wants to change and how they prefer to work.

She has particular experience supporting teens, young adults, and new parents, and she also helps people dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. Amanda also addresses issues connected to gender dysphoria, LGBT concerns, kink and alternative sex culture, dissociation, and post-traumatic stress.

Amanda emphasizes practical steps people can try between sessions. That can include skill practice, thought tracking, mindfulness exercises, or communication skills. Her style aims to balance honest feedback with steady support.

How Amanda’s Approaches Work Online

Amanda often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered techniques in session. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing practical behavior changes to ease symptoms like anxiety, panic, phobias, and low mood. Client-centered work prioritizes the person's own goals and pace, creating room for honest conversation and collaborative planning.

She may also integrate EMDR for people processing traumatic memories. EMDR involves guided attention paired with memory work to reduce the intensity of distress linked to past events. That approach can be useful for post-traumatic stress and strong trauma reactions when both person and therapist agree it fits their goals.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. Amanda will talk through options, try techniques together, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. She aims to match methods to a person's needs, preferences, and day-to-day life rather than using one fixed method.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video isn't possible, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, childcare, or tight schedules and let people pick a format that matches their energy, bandwidth, and comfort with being on camera.
