About Amanda
Amanda Kayes-Carson "Kayes" is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 24 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, and anger. Sessions are offered in English.
Kayes uses a practical, person-focused approach. In sessions she listens for patterns in relationships and in reactions to stress. She helps people name what triggers strong feelings and then practices concrete strategies to respond differently. Expect straightforward conversation and exercises you can try between meetings.
Her background blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered and cognitive behavioral methods. That mix supports work on long-standing relationship patterns and day-to-day coping skills. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy and existential ideas when those perspectives fit the work.
Kayes has supported people through life transitions, addictions, and complicated grief. She addresses issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, body image, and communication problems. This breadth helps when concerns overlap or feel layered.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Amanda often uses client-centered and cognitive behavioral methods. Client-centered work focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions. It suits people who want conversational exploration and practical next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. CBT helps with anger by teaching skillful thinking and small behavior changes that reduce reactivity.She sees the choice of approach as collaborative. In early sessions she and the client will discuss goals, try techniques, and decide which methods fit best. That ongoing adjustment helps keep sessions relevant to daily life and to changes in stress or relationships.
The original biography did not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful because they can fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, or use shorter check-ins when needed. Remote work also makes it easier to practice skills between meetings and to bring real-life examples into conversation.
