About Amber
Amber Rentfro (Dealy) is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. She came to counseling after her own personal experiences with loss and recovery and now focuses on helping people cope with anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. Her approach is grounded in listening and creating a space where someone can feel seen and understood.
Amber uses a mix of practical, skill-based methods and person-centered listening. She leans on cognitive behavioral work and dialectical behavior ideas to teach coping skills.
Background and approach
She also includes eye movement desensitization and reprocessing for people who have trauma histories. Clients can expect sessions that blend structured skill practice with open conversation. Amber aims to help people identify what gets in the way of daily functioning and build small, manageable changes.
She talks about real problems in plain language and helps set goals that fit a person’s life. Her background includes experience with co-occurring disorders and more persistent mental health challenges. She has worked with people facing issues such as addiction, bipolar mood concerns, relationship and parenting stress, and compassion fatigue.
That experience informs a flexible, down-to-earth style in sessions. Amber offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To start, a short matching questionnaire helps pair someone with her, and scheduling follows the match and therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Amber commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that match those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. CBT zeroes in on unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them. EMDR uses specific eye movement or bilateral stimulation alongside memory work to help people process traumatic memories and reduce their hold on daily life.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amber will listen to a person’s history, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. She will adjust the plan over time so the approach stays aligned with what is helping and what is not.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills visually. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or an alternative when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and fit support into busy days. These options make it easier to connect from different schedules and locations, while keeping the work focused on clear goals and practical tools.
