About Amberly

Amberly Garvin uses evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She is a licensed counselor practicing with three years of clinical experience and draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to support clients in building coping skills and strengthening self-esteem. Amberly emphasizes open dialogue and a nonjudgmental environment so clients can explore difficult emotions and practical next steps.

Licensed in Ohio and Texas as an LPC and LPCC, Amberly offers both faith-informed Christian counseling and secular options, tailoring sessions to each person’s values and goals. She has worked with concerns such as depression, panic, body image, relationship communication, forgiveness, and feelings of isolation, helping clients clarify priorities and develop new routines.

Amberly encourages those taking the first step toward therapy and provides flexible session methods to match different schedules and preferences.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Amberly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them through practical exercises, which can relieve anxiety, panic symptoms, and depressive thinking. ACT emphasizes values and committed action, helping clients notice inner experiences while moving toward a meaningful life path, which often aids those facing grief, life transitions, or struggles with purpose.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each client to explore which methods align with their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, adjusting strategies as progress is reviewed and priorities shift.

Online therapy with Amberly is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and use different communication styles as needed while pursuing steady therapeutic progress.
