About Amber
Amber has a particular interest in supporting teenagers, parents of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and people struggling with anxiety and depression - including women who have experienced postpartum depression and psychosis. She draws on Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when trauma is present and blends clinical techniques with a warm, authentic manner. When appropriate she incorporates a touch of humor to put people at ease.
Her approach centers on identifying and building from a person’s existing strengths to develop practical strategies and solutions. Amber specializes in working with teens and adults around stress, self-esteem and confidence, anxiety, family conflict, depression, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, and related challenges. She emphasizes collaboration, rapport, and trust, and seeks to empower people to gain insight and skills to manage life’s challenges more effectively. LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a credential indicating advanced social work training and authorization to provide clinical therapy in Florida.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Amber integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy into her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive relationship and honoring each person’s perspective - it helps when the goal is to explore feelings, values, and personal strengths. CBT examines the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can support coping with grief, trauma, and daily stressors.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Amber collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model. This collaborative stance helps clients feel more involved and supported in treatment choices.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging - which makes it easier to connect around work, family, or geographic constraints. For many people, these options increase access to licensed professionals and allow therapy to be integrated into everyday life in a manageable way.
