Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Amber draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients identify personal values and take committed action despite difficult thoughts or feelings - it is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and creating a nonjudgmental space so clients can explore their experiences and build self-understanding - it is helpful for issues involving self-esteem, identity, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and is commonly used for anxiety, panic, and trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amber works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors interventions so therapy aligns with what the client hopes to accomplish. This collaborative stance helps determine which methods will be emphasized over time.

Online therapy can make scheduling and attendance more flexible by offering sessions via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from different locations and to select formats that fit their daily routines and comfort levels. Please note Amber is not currently accepting new clients.
