Amanda Roland, LPC

Amanda Roland is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and stress. She supports those struggling with self-esteem, compassion fatigue, addiction, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, and major life changes. Amanda offers a calm, steady presence and practical steps to make day-to-day life more manageable.

Amanda emphasizes listening first. She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can share their story and set their own pace for change. Sessions focus on understanding patterns that cause distress and finding concrete ways to shift them.

Her work blends client-centered care with cognitive behavior strategies and skills from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness. That mix lets Amanda address thinking patterns, emotion regulation, and moment-to-moment coping skills all together. Solution-focused ideas are also used to set clear, achievable goals.

Amanda brings five years of experience as an LPC and a longer history in mental health roles dating back to 2007. Her background includes crisis stabilization, inpatient care, outpatient work, animal-assisted and equine therapies, in-home family therapy, and adolescent residential treatment. She also serves as a co-responder with a local police department.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation and collaborative planning. Amanda helps people identify realistic next steps, practice new skills between sessions, and measure progress over time. She values honesty, compassion, and keeping the client in charge of their own choices.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Amanda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so clients can explore their goals and make choices at their own pace.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. DBT skills teach breathing, grounding, and interpersonal techniques that people can practice between sessions and use during intense moments.

Figuring out which approach fits best is a collaborative process. Amanda will talk about options, try strategies, and check in regularly so the plan matches a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked and priorities change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstration, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
