Amber Jones , LPC

Amber Jones, LPC, is a licensed professional counselor in Alabama who brings a focused, compassionate approach to working with children, adolescents, college students, and adults. She has six years of experience practicing as a counselor and more than 16 years working in the broader mental health field, including over a decade as a substance abuse prevention specialist prior to earning her counseling degree. Amber also offers telehealth services for adults and adolescents, adapting therapeutic methods to fit remote formats and client needs.

Amber is currently pursuing a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision, which informs her commitment to ongoing learning and evidence-based practice. As an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - she draws primarily from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques. The client-centered approach emphasizes the client as the expert in their own life while she supports exploration of thoughts and emotions; cognitive behavioral methods help identify and shift patterns of thinking and behavior to address challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, trauma, and stress.

Her work spans family and parenting issues, self-esteem, addictions, anger, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. Amber aims to collaborate with each person to develop practical strategies and meaningful growth tailored to individual goals and circumstances.

Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Care

Amber Jones integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions in ways that fit each person's needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive environment in which the client is treated as the expert on their own life; the therapist listens closely and helps the client process feelings and choices, which can be especially helpful for building self-esteem, improving family and parenting dynamics, and coping with life transitions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop practical strategies for change. CBT can be effective for addressing anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, stress, and coping with trauma or addictive behaviors by teaching tools for managing thoughts and emotions in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amber works with each person to explore what feels most helpful based on their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting techniques over time to ensure the best possible fit. Online therapy offers flexible options - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so clients can access care in ways that match their schedules and comfort level while maintaining continuity of treatment.
