About Amber
Amber Rentfro (Dealy) is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. She draws on personal experience and professional training to guide people through hard times. Her work focuses on helping clients find ways to move forward when life feels overwhelming.
She uses practical, talk-through approaches that help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Amber also supports people coping with grief, bipolar disorder, addictions, and compassion fatigue. She pays attention to relationship struggles, parenting pressures, work stress, and issues around self-esteem and life changes.
How Amber works
Her practice blends several therapeutic methods to match each person's needs. Amber draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and client-centered work. Sessions focus on skills, understanding patterns, and making small changes that matter day to day.
She has three years of professional experience as an LPC in Missouri. That background includes work with co-occurring conditions and people with complex histories. Amber describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client and therapist figure out what helps most.
In sessions she aims to listen deeply, reflect what she hears, and offer concrete tools to try between meetings. Her style is direct but compassionate, with a focus on practical steps. People who want clear skills and open conversation may find her approach helpful.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses straightforward exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories by guiding the brain through structured processing and can help with trauma and abuse reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amber collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. She may combine methods and adjust pacing so the plan feels manageable and relevant to everyday life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and teaching of skills, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
