Amber Benamou

Amber Benamou is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Florida with 11 years of experience. She earned a Master of Social Work, graduating summa cum laude from Barry University. Amber aims to be straightforward and warm in sessions, and she often brings a touch of humor when it feels right.

Amber has worked in community mental health, addictions, and with children and families. She draws on those experiences when helping people facing anxiety, depression, grief, and major life shifts. She also addresses stress, self-esteem concerns, family conflict, parenting challenges, anger, career stress, and trauma and abuse.

Her approach starts with listening and identifying a person’s existing strengths. From there she helps people develop practical strategies and small steps they can use between sessions. Amber uses methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work depending on what each person needs.

People who prefer a collaborative style tend to fit well with her way of working. She emphasizes building trust and clear, realistic goals. Her aim is to help people gain insight, learn coping skills, and better manage life changes and everyday stresses.

How Amber’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It means listening closely, reflecting what matters, and tailoring the pace to each person. This approach helps when someone needs empathy, clearer thinking, or a safe place to talk about life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and tests small changes to see what helps. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with change because it targets practical skills and steps people can try between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and managing difficult emotions in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue work after a major life change or when schedules are unpredictable.
