About Amber
Amber Benamou is a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11 years of practice. She earned a Master of Social Work from Barry University, graduating summa cum laude. Amber brings experience from community mental health, addiction services, and work with children and families. She aims to be straightforward and warm, and sometimes uses light humor when it fits the moment.
Amber focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She also supports those dealing with family and parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, anger, and career changes. Her background includes work with adolescents and parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and she has helped people affected by natural or human-caused disaster.
In sessions, Amber uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She leans on client-centered techniques to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools help people shift unhelpful thoughts and routines. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies provide practical skills for day-to-day coping.
She describes therapy as a team effort. Amber helps clients find their own strengths and turn them into concrete plans. The goal is to leave sessions with clearer steps and skills to handle difficult moments.
Her style is direct but compassionate, with attention to building rapport. Parents reading on a phone will find short, practical guidance and an emphasis on real-life strategies. For those recovering from trauma or navigating big life changes, she offers steady support and focused problem-solving.
How her approaches translate to online work
Amber commonly uses client-centered methods, which focus on listening, building rapport, and following the client’s pace to clarify goals and priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and guides the work toward what matters most to them.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then test small behavioral changes. CBT is practical for addressing anxiety, depression, and stress by giving concrete tools to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps. That teamwork helps match interventions to each person’s needs and preferences.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use interventions, like mindfulness exercises or homework, directly in their daily routines without changing their schedule drastically.
