Amanda Dunn , LPC

Amanda Dunn, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Colorado with eight years of experience in the mental health field. As an LPC she is licensed to provide therapeutic services in the state of Colorado and works primarily with teens, young adults, new parents, and people coping with anxiety, stress, depression, and the effects of past trauma. Her approach centers on the individual - she listens for each person's priorities and collaborates with them to set realistic goals and develop practical skills.

Her style is warm and client-centered, drawing from evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, the Gottman Method, and mindfulness practices to meet a range of concerns. She also attends to relationship and identity issues, including LGBT matters, kink and BDSM affirmative care, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and intimacy-related challenges. In addition, she supports people facing compassion fatigue, parenting struggles, sleep problems, dissociation, and mood or panic-related difficulties.

Amanda emphasizes authenticity and partnership in therapy, offering education, support, and steady guidance as clients make the changes they choose. She frames progress as self-directed change and works alongside people as they explore their values, build coping strategies, and reclaim a sense of agency.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Amanda integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and EMDR into her online practice to address a variety of concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them clarify values and goals - this approach supports self-exploration and empowerment. CBT is a structured method that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep problems. EMDR is a trauma-informed technique that can help people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact when trauma is a central concern.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Amanda works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods over time and remains flexible to adjustments that improve outcomes.

Online therapy with Amanda is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, geographic limitations, or different comfort levels with communication. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access therapeutic support in ways that fit daily life.
