About Amber

Amber Williams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience in a variety of mental health settings. She combines client-centered principles with practical, goal-oriented techniques to help people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, mood concerns, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

Amber emphasizes collaboration and uses motivational interviewing to foster insight and build self-directed goals. Her clinical path includes work in outpatient clinics, skilled living facilities, community mental health programs, and nonprofit healthcare, along with experience serving clients connected to social services, law enforcement, and the military.

Amber holds a bachelor’s degree in Social Work from the University of Tennessee at Martin and a master’s degree in Social Work from Western Kentucky University, and she is licensed to practice as an LCSW in Tennessee and Florida (TN LCSW 6841, FL LCSW SW16737).

In sessions she blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and solution-focused methods, adapting approaches to each person’s needs while encouraging the use of support networks and practical coping skills. Her aim is to help clients prioritize their well-being and build sustainable strategies for managing relationships, grief, self-esteem, career concerns, and other life challenges.

Bringing evidence-based approaches to online therapy

Amber integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when working online. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while exploring personal goals and values.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Amber works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs and preferences. She combines practical skills with reflective conversation and adjusts techniques over time based on progress and client feedback.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to engage in therapy from different locations and at varied times. These options make it easier to maintain consistent sessions, practice skills between meetings, and choose formats that suit one’s schedule and comfort level.
