About Amberly
Amberly Garvin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio and Texas with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Amberly offers both Christian counseling and non-religious counseling and conducts sessions in English.
Her work centers on practical skills people can use between sessions. She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. That often means breaking problems into smaller steps and trying short experiments to see what works. Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused.
Amberly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness techniques. She explains tools plainly and practices them with clients in session. Skills might include recognizing thought patterns, practicing present-moment awareness, and clarifying personal values to guide action.
She helps people address specific concerns like panic attacks, body image issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt or shame. Amberly also supports clients working through loneliness, questions of life purpose, and self-love. Work typically mixes skill practice, behavioral experiments, and reflective discussion.
Her approach aims to make therapy usable in everyday life. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How CBT, ACT and Mindfulness inform online sessions
Amberly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce distress. It is often used for anxiety, panic, and depression.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and encourage committed action. ACT helps people accept difficult internal experiences while choosing actions that match what matters to them. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Amberly works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs and goals. Clients try techniques in session and bring short exercises into their daily routine to see what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for video or phone conversations and suggest ways to practice skills between meetings.
