About Amber

Amber Poma is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She brings seven years of clinical experience to her work and approaches each client with sensitivity and respect, aiming to create a space where honest feedback and open communication guide the therapeutic process. Amber emphasizes tailored care, shaping conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person's specific needs and goals.

Her style blends evidence-informed methods and an empathic, client-centered stance. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking patterns, uses mindfulness strategies to build present-moment awareness, and incorporates motivational interviewing and psychodynamic perspectives when exploring deeper patterns and change.

Amber encourages clients to view therapy as a collaborative effort and offers steady support for those taking steps toward greater fulfillment and emotional well-being.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and shifting patterns of behavior that contribute to distress; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist supports the client's own capacity for growth and helps clarify goals and values. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation, which is useful for stress, trauma-related symptoms, and mood concerns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic work. Amber collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Amber is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into a busy life and to continue work between sessions using written or real-time conversations as needed.
