About Amber
Amber Williams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience. She offers a straightforward, client-centered style that invites people to take an active role in their care. Amber focuses on practical steps families and individuals can use to manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship or parenting concerns.
She trained in social work at the University of Tennessee at Martin and earned a Master of Social Work from Western Kentucky University.
How Amber works
Amber holds LCSW credentials in Tennessee and Florida. Her background includes outpatient clinical services, skilled living facilities, community mental health, and nonprofit healthcare settings. Over her career she has worked with people connected to social services, law enforcement, and the military, and has experience with foster care, adoption, and criminal justice contexts.
That variety shaped a flexible approach to common problems like grief, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Amber uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. Her methods also draw on cognitive behavioral and solution-focused tools to break down overwhelming problems into small, doable steps.
For people processing trauma or abuse, she brings trauma-focused strategies aimed at pacing recovery and building coping skills. She encourages leaning on supports such as friends, family members, or other professionals when helpful. Sessions aim to be practical and approachable.
Amber emphasizes clear goals, short-term coping techniques, and skills people can try between meetings. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort to prioritize one’s mental health and day-to-day functioning.

Online support options
Approach-driven online care that fits your life
Amber blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and trauma-focused work to address a range of concerns. Client-centered therapy means sessions start with the person’s priorities and move at their pace, focusing on listening, validation, and building motivation. CBT breaks down anxious or negative thinking into manageable parts and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Trauma-focused therapy pays attention to pacing and safety, helping people process painful experiences while building coping skills that reduce the day-to-day impact.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful based on the client’s goals, symptoms, and preferences, and will adjust methods as progress is made. Clients are encouraged to try techniques in-between sessions and report back so plans can be refined together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text are convenient for quick check-ins or brief coping prompts. These options help fit sessions around work, parenting, or other commitments while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
