About Amanda

Amanda Kayes-Carson "Kayes" is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people manage depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and parenting concerns. She draws on many years of practice to offer steady, practical support when life feels overwhelming.

Kayes keeps sessions straightforward and person-focused. She listens first, then works with each person to build clear goals. Conversations aim to uncover patterns that keep someone stuck and to practice new ways of coping that feel doable in daily life.

Her background spans more than two decades of clinical work with people facing addiction, grief, relationship strain, and attention challenges. Kayes uses approaches that emphasize relationships, personal strengths, and skills training to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

In the room she blends Attachment-Based ideas with client-centered listening and cognitive-behavioral techniques. That mix lets her address how early connections shape current feelings, while also teaching practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

She describes her style as respectful, sensitive, and compassionate. Kayes partners with clients to tailor a plan that fits their situation and pace. To begin, she encourages prospective clients to reflect on what they most want to change and bring that into the first conversation.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Amanda often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current emotions and patterns. This approach can help when trust, closeness, or boundary problems come up in adult relationships.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening without judgment and following the client's pace. That helps people feel heard and respected while they make changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kayes will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Many people appreciate online therapy for fitting sessions into a busy life, reducing travel time, and allowing easier scheduling around work or caregiving. Online sessions can make it simpler to have a shorter check-in or to choose a time that would otherwise be hard to keep. Talk with the therapist during scheduling to learn which session options are offered and which will best meet your needs.
