Amanda Crossland

Amanda Crossland is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and relationship concerns. She offers calm, steady support and listens closely to what matters most to each person. Amanda aims to help people make practical changes that improve day-to-day life.

Amanda uses a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs rather than a single method. She draws on client-centered work to build trust and on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Dialectical skills are included when emotions feel intense, and EMDR is one approach she uses for trauma-related concerns.

Her background includes a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grace University in Omaha, Nebraska, earned in 2014. Amanda has seven years of clinical experience and holds an LPC license in Colorado. She also brings experience with addictions, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and life transitions.

In sessions she focuses on clear, manageable steps people can try between meetings. Conversations often include identifying triggers, practicing coping skills, and working on communication or boundaries. The goal is steady progress that fits each person's pace and priorities.

Amanda encourages anyone who wants help to start with a short questionnaire and a scheduling step. That begins a conversation about goals, options, and what change could look like in everyday life.

How Amanda’s approaches work online

Amanda uses client-centered work, CBT, and DBT ideas to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people name what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors, offering practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches coping skills for strong emotions and helps build routines for handling stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods over time based on progress and feedback. The therapist and client decide together which techniques to emphasize during online meetings.

Confirm the specific session options before booking so you know what formats are currently offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, simplify short check-ins during a work break, or reduce travel time. It also supports using in-the-moment tools together, like teaching a coping skill during a difficult moment or reviewing a written exercise between meetings.
