About Amanda

Amanda Dunn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado. She brings eight years of work in mental health to her practice and focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and big life changes.

Her style is warm and client-centered. She listens first and works alongside people to set goals. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Amanda emphasizes authenticity and practical steps that fit daily life.

In sessions she uses mindfulness practices to help calm the body and focus attention. She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. When trauma is part of the picture, she may incorporate EMDR elements to address painful memories while supporting regulation skills.

Amanda has experience supporting teens, young adults, and new parents, and she also helps people dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, sleep problems, and identity questions. She works with clients facing a wide range of challenges including compassion fatigue, loneliness, panic, and mood fluctuations.

She aims to make therapy reasonable and usable. Clients can expect straightforward tools, guided reflection, and feedback between sessions when helpful. The approach is practical, focused on small changes that add up over time.

How Amanda’s approaches can work online

Amanda often uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice and steady their attention. Mindfulness exercises teach simple ways to slow breathing, notice thoughts, and reduce reactivity, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and sleep issues. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, validation, and working at the client’s pace to build trust and clarity.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common part of her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small behavior changes to shift mood and stress. This approach often pairs well with mindfulness practice to make changes feel more manageable.

Finding the right approach is treated as a shared process. Amanda will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those methods as progress is made.

If you want online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking so you know what to expect. Many people find that remote work makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shortens commute time, and allows for brief check-ins during a workday. Discussing practical needs up front helps make sessions useful and realistic for everyday life.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
