About Amber

Amber Trinkle is a licensed mental health counselor who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, ADHD, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and family challenges, grief, sleep problems, parenting struggles, self-esteem issues, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She also brings focused attention to adoption and foster care matters, attachment concerns, communication problems, impulsivity, life purpose, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and phobia, women's issues, and young adult concerns. With a decade of clinical experience, Amber helps clients clarify goals and develop practical skills to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Her approach blends evidence-informed methods with a collaborative, person-centered stance. Amber often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns, and integrates motivational interviewing to bolster readiness for change.

She draws from attachment-based ideas and mindfulness practices as needed to deepen understanding of relational patterns and increase present-moment coping. Based in New York and credentialed as an LMHC, Amber offers sessions through multiple online formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Amber often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop practical strategies for change; CBT is commonly used for issues such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and impulsivity. She also incorporates Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to explore how early and current relationship patterns influence emotional responses and interpersonal difficulties, which can be helpful for relationship concerns, attachment issues, and parenting challenges. When appropriate, client-centered techniques guide sessions by prioritizing the client's own goals and perspectives and fostering a collaborative, empathetic environment.

Selecting the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to weigh needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time so care feels like a partnership rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging creates practical flexibility for busy schedules and varying comfort with technology. These options allow people to attend sessions from different locations and to choose formats that fit their daily life, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while working on symptom management, coping skills, and relationship patterns with a licensed professional.
