About Amber

Amber Wilder is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 13 years of clinical experience who helps clients navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and relationship concerns. She trained at Fort Hays State University and holds licensure in Nevada and Kansas (NV LCPC CP3252-R, KS LCPC LCPC 02957).

Background and approach

Amber describes a calm, easygoing style and centers sessions on collaboration, guiding clients to clarify strengths and practical goals while selecting methods that fit each person's needs. Her practice blends evidence-based tools such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and EMDR with client-centered and acceptance-oriented strategies.

Amber adapts techniques to the individual, offering motivational interviewing, psychoeducation, and solution-focused interventions when useful. Her focus areas include a broad range of life challenges - from grief, intimacy and parenting concerns to bipolar disorder, addictions, and attachment or family-of-origin issues.

Amber works from a compassionate, nonjudgmental stance and supports people through coping with life changes, communication and commitment concerns, and caregiving stress. She accepts international clients and provides flexible online options including video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and preferences.

Approaches and Online Care for Practical Change



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) blends acceptance strategies with values-driven action, helping people tolerate difficult emotions while pursuing meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in close relationships and how those patterns affect current emotional responses and relational choices, which can be useful for intimacy, communication, and family-of-origin issues.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amber works with each person to identify goals, strengths, and preferences and then uses elements from these approaches as needed rather than relying on a single method. The result is a tailored plan that can evolve as progress is made and needs change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to attend sessions from varied locations and schedules. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care while working through stress, coping with life changes, or practicing skills between sessions.
