About Amelia

Amelia Flower is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with ten years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, bipolar disorder, relationship concerns, anger, self-esteem struggles, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

She also works with more complex presentations such as personality and mood disorders, panic and social anxiety, impulsivity, isolation, paranoia, and self-harm. Her practice reflects experience gained in correctional settings and community behavioral health contexts.

Her therapeutic stance is grounded in empathy and client-centered care, helping clients explore how past experiences shape current patterns while collaborating on practical goals. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify triggers and build coping skills, and uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness techniques for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Motivational interviewing and grounding strategies are woven into her approach to build rapport and support clients during acute moments. Amelia brings formal training and supervisory experience to her work and emphasizes ethical boundaries, clear goal-setting, and a roadmap for moving forward.

She offers online chat and messaging formats and encourages those ready to take the first step in self-care to reach out and explore whether her approach matches their needs.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Amelia draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms such as anxiety and depression and to build concrete coping skills. DBT offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and reducing self-harm urges through structured exercises and practice.

She also uses client-centered principles to create a collaborative process where the client's priorities guide the work. The therapist will explore goals, preferences, and needs together with the client and adapt techniques over time so the chosen approach fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which support flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals while continuing daily routines, and they allow therapeutic exercises and skill-building to be integrated between sessions.
