About Amber
Amber Clay is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in West Virginia who brings six years of clinical experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, and a wide range of interpersonal and emotional concerns.
Background and approach
She emphasizes building a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients can explore difficult feelings such as grief, anger, shame, and isolation while developing practical strategies for coping and growth. Her practice blends evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies with mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques to match each person's needs.
Amber aims to foster empowerment and increased self-awareness, supporting clients through life transitions, relationship struggles, addictive patterns, and challenges related to parenting, intimacy, or identity. She creates a nonjudgmental space where taking the first steps toward change is encouraged and sustained support is provided throughout the process.
Using Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Therapy
Amber integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into online work to address patterns of thinking, emotional regulation, and behavior. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, while DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive actions.She also draws on mindfulness practices to help clients increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, and uses motivational interviewing techniques to support readiness for change. Together these approaches provide skill-building and reflective work that can be tailored to difficulties such as trauma recovery, addiction-related patterns, relationship struggles, and coping with life transitions. Amber collaborates with each person to determine which combination of methods fits their goals and preferences, adapting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility needs. These formats make it easier to maintain regular contact, practice skills between sessions, and access support from home or other convenient locations, while licensed professionals guide the therapeutic work and adjust methods to suit each client’s circumstances.
