About Amberly
Amberly Garvin is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, with three years of clinical experience. She practices in Ohio and has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Amberly offers both Christian counseling and non-religious counseling depending on a client's preference.
She focuses on practical conversation and straightforward tools. Sessions often look like reviewing what happened, naming the feeling, and trying one small strategy to shift the next step. Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts, test beliefs, and choose actions that matter to them.
Amberly commonly addresses issues that connect to body image, communication problems, divorce or separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, and questions about life purpose. She also works with panic attacks and self-love concerns. Her work aims to clarify what is getting in the way and to practice manageable skills between sessions.
When faith is important, she integrates Christian perspectives into counseling. If a client prefers a secular approach she uses non-religious methods instead. She encourages straightforward conversation about values and goals to shape each session.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. The practice uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time and cost varies with location.
How her ACT, CBT and mindfulness work for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing inner experiences and choosing actions that align with personal values. It helps when guilt or shame make it hard to act the way someone wants to. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce getting caught up in painful thoughts and to increase clear responses.Finding the right approach often happens together. She will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try one method, and adjust based on what helps. This collaborative process aims to match techniques to the client’s situation rather than applying a single method to every concern.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy day and keeping regular appointments when travel is difficult. Because formats are not specified in the biography, confirm which session types are offered before booking. The therapist uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and the sign-up includes a short questionnaire and scheduling for the first session.
