Ambriel Kinney , LCSW

Ambriel Kinney is an LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed to practice in Mississippi with six years of professional experience. She has worked with people facing stress and anxiety, challenges related to addictions, family conflict, and depression, supporting them as they navigate difficult moments in life.

Grounded in a strengths-focused perspective, Ambriel views each person as the expert of their own story and helps clients identify and build on their existing resources. Her work centers on practical skill-building and compassionate guidance to help clients manage emotional challenges and life transitions.

Ambriel recognizes that beginning therapy requires bravery and values the step people take when they reach out for support. She aims to create a collaborative space where clients and therapist work together to set goals and pursue meaningful change over time.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Remote Care

Ambriel emphasizes a strengths-based approach that helps clients identify personal resources and apply them to challenges. This method supports work on self-esteem, motivation, and recovery by focusing on what already works in a person’s life and building from those assets.

She also uses evidence-informed, skills-focused techniques to teach coping strategies and emotion regulation. These techniques aim to reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and mood difficulties and to provide practical tools for managing cravings, impulsivity, or intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ambriel partners with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then selects or adapts techniques that best fit each person’s situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and accessibility across different lifestyles. These formats make it easier for clients to attend sessions from home, work around busy days, and maintain continuity of care while adjusting to life’s demands.
