About Amber
Before becoming a counselor Amber spent more than a decade in substance abuse prevention. That background shaped her interest in coping skills and relapse prevention. She has provided telehealth services to adolescents and adults and has worked with children, college students, and adults in clinical settings.
Amber describes the person-centered method as treating each person as the expert in their life. She listens for what matters most to the client and helps them make sense of feelings and choices. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors in everyday situations.
Clients can expect a practical, down-to-earth dialogue that balances emotional processing with concrete strategies. Amber draws on her prevention work when addressing addictions and on life-stage experience when helping with parenting and family stress.
She is working toward a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision while continuing clinical work. Amber is licensed in Alabama as an LPC and conducts sessions in English. Readers should confirm current session formats before scheduling.

Person-centered and CBT approaches for online care
Amber uses client-centered methods that start by listening to what matters most to the person. This approach helps clients name their priorities and work through emotions while the therapist follows their lead.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting thought patterns that increase stress or anxiety and trying new behaviors to reduce their impact. CBT is practical and often includes small exercises to practice between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amber will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then adapt the mix of person-centered listening and CBT techniques to fit each person's needs.
Please confirm the current online session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people connect from a quieter place or choose a session style that matches their routine. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively in remote work when they are a good fit for the client's situation.
