About Amber
Amber Lynn Dicker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with nine years of experience. She works with people dealing with trauma and abuse, anger, stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. Amber also supports concerns related to relationships, career stress, and identity questions in LGBT clients.
Her approach is practical and goal-focused. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns. Sessions often include looking at thoughts, noticing behaviors, and trying new coping skills in day-to-day life.
Amber emphasizes building concrete skills for managing distress. She talks through patterns of thinking and behavior and helps people develop ways to respond differently when anger or anxiety rises. Work may include setting short-term goals and practicing new responses between sessions.
She also addresses related topics such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Amber can help people sort through family problems and adoption or foster care concerns.
The focus is on steady, practical steps rather than quick fixes. Clients should expect collaborative sessions that mix skill-building with discussion about what matters to them. To begin, use the site matching process to schedule an initial appointment and see how the approach fits your situation.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try practical changes to lower anger, anxiety, or depression. DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. It can be useful when strong feelings come up quickly or when impulsivity is a problem.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to your goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as you go rather than assuming one method will fit every situation.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in the environments where day-to-day triggers happen. Amber uses evidence-based approaches that translate to remote sessions, and she will discuss what works best for scheduling, session length, and follow-up tasks during the first meeting.
