About Amber
Amber Lynn Dicker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with nine years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and stress. She also helps those dealing with relationship and family concerns, identity and LGBT issues, and career or life changes.
Her approach focuses on concrete goals and building skills. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing to help people notice how thoughts affect feelings and actions. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thinking, practicing new coping skills, and setting small, achievable steps.
Amber pays attention to patterns that keep problems going, such as avoidance, impulsive reactions, or rigid thinking. She uses trauma-focused work when past harm affects day-to-day life. Work may include grounding skills, emotion regulation strategies, and breaking problems into manageable tasks.
People who feel stuck by low self-esteem, anger, abandonment, or isolation can work on clearer communication and healthier routines. She also offers support for caregiver stress, body image worries, and decision points like career changes or adoption-related concerns.
Sessions are practical and goal oriented, with a steady pace. Progress is tracked through small behavior changes and new coping tools. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How Amber uses CBT and DBT online
Amber often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions typically focus on practical exercises, behavior experiments, and step-by-step plans to reduce anxiety or improve mood.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal skills. DBT tools can help with impulsivity, intense emotions, and improving communication in stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as skills grow and priorities change.
