About Amberly
Amberly Garvin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing with three years of clinical experience. She is licensed in Texas and Ohio and works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and big life changes. Amberly supports people working on self-esteem, motivation, body image, and struggles with shame or isolation. She offers both Christian counseling and non-religious counseling options.
In sessions she uses practical tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness practices. Conversations focus on what feels most pressing now, and on small, doable steps that fit into daily life. She helps people name patterns in thinking and behavior, and then tries out different ways of responding to those patterns.
Clients can expect straightforward talk about difficult feelings and about everyday choices that get in the way of feeling more settled. Amberly gives guidance on skills to reduce panic symptoms and manage anxiety. She also supports people who are navigating divorce or separation, communication problems, and the loneliness that can come after loss.
Her practice emphasizes clear goals and regular check-ins so progress can be tracked. Work may include mindfulness exercises, practical behavioral changes, and values-based actions tied to life purpose concerns. Sessions are intended to be collaborative, with the person’s values and preferences shaping the focus.
Amberly conducts sessions in English and practices in Ohio while holding licensure in Texas as well. To start, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to set up the first meeting.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking actions in line with those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, low motivation, and making life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and self-esteem work.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to present-moment experience through simple awareness practices. It can help reduce reactivity and build steadier coping in stressful moments.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to test what fits best, adjusting methods based on the client’s goals and responses. Decisions about pace, exercises, and homework are made together so the approach matches daily life and priorities.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session types before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, medical appointments, or family tasks. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, the option to join without video when bandwidth is limited, and the ability to continue consistent appointments after a move or life change.
