About Amber
Amber Lynn Dicker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She also supports people dealing with self-esteem struggles, anger, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, relationship and family concerns, and career questions. Her language is straightforward and focused on practical change.
Amber uses clear, goal-focused work. She helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and build different responses. Together they set small, realistic steps toward better coping and clearer choices.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to leave people with tools they can use between meetings. Her style blends cognitive and skills-based methods with motivational strategies. Amber offers structured techniques to reframe thoughts and teach emotion regulation skills.
She also uses trauma-focused methods when past harm affects daily life and relationships. With nine years of clinical work, Amber brings steady experience to the room. She draws on training in several evidence-based approaches to tailor care to each person.
The focus is on practical progress rather than labels or long lists of tasks. People who choose Amber can expect calm guidance and active problem-solving. She pays attention to how thoughts, feelings, and behavior connect and helps clients experiment with new ways of coping.
Her aim is to help people move through difficult changes with clearer skills and more confidence.
How Amber’s Approaches Work Online
CBT or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT often uses short exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and practice different reactions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.DBT or Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. In virtual sessions this can mean learning concrete skills, practicing them in real life, and reviewing how they worked in the next meeting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amber will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. She adjusts techniques as progress is made and keeps the plan practical and focused on everyday improvements.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling more flexible. These formats let people connect when it fits their routine and use brief check-ins or longer sessions as needed. The options are meant to increase access to consistent support and to help clients practice skills between sessions.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
