More about Amber
- 12 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a licensed therapist with over 12 years of experience supporting adults through periods of transition, reflection, and personal change. I often work with women who already have insight into themselves but feel uncertain, disconnected, or at a crossroads, understanding their patterns on one level, yet wanting support integrating that awareness into lived clarity and direction.
My approach is calm, collaborative, and insight-oriented. Sessions focus on slowing down and making sense of emotional patterns, life experiences, and internal narratives in a way that feels grounded and intentional rather than urgent. Many people I work with are functioning well in their daily lives, but feel internally unsettled or reflective during times of change or loss.
I value focused, intentional conversations and tend to work best with clients who appreciate a reflective pace and structured session time. Together, we work toward integration and meaning, helping insight become something that can be lived and embodied, not just understood.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
