More about Amber

3 years' experience
Female
LMHC

I am licensed in Florida with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & depression. My approach to therapy is to integrate holistic, trauma-informed, and evidenced-based treatments to counseling. I also utilizes EMDR as a way to help clients work through difficult memories that may be influencing current functioning and their ability to become "unstuck" from their trauma.

Together we can work together to provide you with more adaptive coping skills to ensure you are living the best possible life. Call today to begin your new life journey towards healing!

About online counseling

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.
