About Amber

Amber Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who uses a person-centered approach alongside cognitive behavioral techniques. She keeps sessions focused on what matters most to parents and caregivers. She listens, reflects, and helps people make practical changes.

Her style is straightforward and respectful for busy families. Amber has six years as a counselor and more than a decade working in substance abuse prevention before earning her counseling degree.

Background and approach

She has experience supporting children, adolescents, college students, and adults, and she has provided telehealth services to teens and adults. She is also pursuing a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision. In sessions she treats worries like stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem by helping clients notice patterns in thinking and behavior.

She also works with parenting and family concerns, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, relationship struggles, career questions, depression, and coping with life changes. Her background in prevention informs a practical and skills-focused approach. Amber blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) tools.

That means she starts by hearing each person’s experience and then introduces specific strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Parents can expect clear, step-by-step ideas they can try between sessions. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented.

Amber helps people set realistic steps and track progress. She communicates plainly and focuses on solutions that fit family life and schedules.

Therapeutic approaches and online support for families

Amber uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in online sessions. Client-centered therapy means the therapist focuses on listening without judgment, following the client's lead, and helping people make sense of their feelings. This approach is useful when someone needs a calm space to talk through parenting stress, family conflict, or overwhelming emotions.

CBT offers clear tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and shift daily habits. It involves identifying thought patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and practicing new skills. This method often helps with anxiety, low mood, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Amber will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Clients and therapist set practical aims together and adjust techniques as progress is made.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into family life. Video calls provide face-to-face time, phone sessions remove travel needs, and live chat or text messaging allow brief check-ins between meetings. These options offer flexibility and steady access to support while working around busy schedules.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
