About Amber
Amber Poma is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, low self-esteem, and the strain of life changes. She also focuses on compassion fatigue, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and issues specific to women.
Her style is warm and direct. Amber invites honest feedback and keeps communication open so therapy stays useful.
How Amber works
Sessions are tailored to each person rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. She aims to help people feel heard and build practical ways to cope. Amber blends several approaches to fit what each person needs.
She uses client-centered methods to follow the client's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques help manage stress and stay grounded.
She also draws on motivational interviewing to support change and psychodynamic ideas to look at longstanding patterns when useful. Therapy often mixes short-term tools with deeper reflection based on the concern at hand. Amber’s seven years of experience have included a range of settings and challenges.
Her communication style is respectful and sensitive. She encourages people to ask questions and shape the work together. Taking the first step can be hard, and she aims to provide steady support as clients move toward clearer goals and more helpful ways of coping.

Approaches that translate online and in session
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's priorities. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so clients can clarify what matters most and set their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. This approach is helpful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment focus, which can ease overwhelm and support emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the concern, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions remain practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use a camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflection, or support between longer sessions. These formats help make therapy fit around work, family, and daily life while still allowing a consistent relationship with a licensed professional.
