About Amberly
Amberly Garvin is a licensed counselor who combines practical talk and gentle guidance to help people manage stress and anxiety. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and brings three years of professional experience to sessions. Amberly creates a calm space for people to name what feels hard and to begin making small workable changes.
She uses approaches that focus on what matters to each person and on skills that can be practiced between sessions. That can mean learning to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts or practicing acceptance and mindful attention to reduce reactivity. Amberly also supports people coping with grief, depression, low self-esteem, and life changes like separation or shifting roles.
Her work includes attention to body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about purpose and self-love. She offers both Christian counseling and non-religious counseling, depending on the person’s needs and preferences. Sessions aim to be straightforward, with clear steps and opportunities to try new strategies between meetings.
Amberly is licensed in Ohio and Texas and has experience helping people who face panic and panic attacks along with other anxiety concerns. She encourages a collaborative approach where the next step is chosen together, and she recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Her model emphasizes practical skills, steady support, and gradual progress over time.
How ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps toward those values. It helps when anxiety or avoidance gets in the way of living the life someone wants.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and to change behaviors that worsen anxiety or depression.
Mindfulness Therapy centers on paying attention to the present moment in a gentle way. That practice can reduce reactivity, improve focus, and make it easier to notice when a panic attack or overwhelming emotion is starting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences and try different techniques together to see what fits best. Decisions about methods are made collaboratively, and adjustments are expected as needs change.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. This profile does not specify formats, so check which formats are offered at scheduling.
