About Amanda
Amanda Crossland is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem struggles, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and major life changes. She offers a steady, listening presence and practical support to help people move toward the life they want. Sessions aim to be warm, honest, and focused on small, manageable steps.
Amanda uses a mix of approaches so sessions can look different depending on what a person needs. She often draws on Motivational Interviewing to help build motivation for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered work also appear in her practice to address thoughts, behaviors, and emotional needs. She adapts techniques to each person rather than following one rigid plan.
Amanda earned a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grace University in Omaha, Nebraska. She holds a Colorado LPC license and has about seven years of clinical experience. Her background includes training in a range of therapies used to support trauma, mood challenges, and addictive behaviors.
In sessions she focuses on listening carefully, spotting patterns that keep problems stuck, and trying small experiments to test new ways of coping. She pays attention to both the big picture and practical details so people can make steady progress.
People who start work with her are often looking for realistic strategies and steady support through transitions. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work
Amanda commonly uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify goals and build their own reasons for change; this method focuses on listening, asking open questions, and strengthening motivation. Client-centered therapy is another part of her approach and centers on giving people space to tell their story while the therapist reflects and supports their choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda works with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences, and she adjusts plans based on how things go. The first sessions often involve trying a few techniques to see what feels most helpful together.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work and family schedules, reducing travel time, and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking so you know whether video, phone, or another arrangement is offered. Online work still allows for step-by-step skill practice, review of goals between sessions, and focused conversations that fit into busy lives. -
