About Amanda

She brings a trauma-informed, person-centered approach to her work, meeting clients where they are and tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each individual's needs. Her practice focuses on concerns such as depression, stress, anxiety, ADHD, trauma and PTSD, relationship difficulties, family conflict, and parenting challenges, and she emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion throughout the therapeutic process.

Kayes draws on person-centered principles alongside strength-based, solution-focused, and family systems perspectives to support change and resilience.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Amanda Kayes-Carson "Kayes" integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating and how early connections shape current relationships, which can help with trust, intimacy, and relational difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own experience and strengths, offering a supportive environment where the therapist follows the client's lead to promote self-discovery and growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Amanda collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques and pacing to fit each person's situation so therapy remains effective and personally meaningful.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and reach clients across Colorado. These options offer flexibility in timing and communication style, allowing therapy to continue even when in-person visits are not practical, while keeping the focus on consistent, goal-oriented work between client and therapist.
