About Amber

Amber Preston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania who combines clinical training with a focus on trauma and identity-related concerns. She earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from California University of Pennsylvania (now PennWest California) in 2014 and has built eight years of experience supporting people facing a range of mental health challenges.

Her work centers on trauma and post-traumatic stress, while also addressing anxiety, depression, attention-related concerns, and difficulties with relationships, self-esteem, and identity. She has experience helping adolescents and adults navigate school or life-balance stressors, peer and family dynamics, and the emotional impact of abuse and other traumatic events. As a gender-affirming therapist, she works with LGBTQIA+ issues and with clients exploring gender dysphoria and related identity concerns.

Amber uses a mix of evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, and person-centered approaches to support clients in defining and reaching their goals. She aims to guide and challenge while honoring each person as the author of their own story, offering practical tools, reflective support, and collaborative feedback as people pursue greater well-being.

Approaches for remote trauma and identity care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation by teaching practical skills for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship where the person is respected as the expert on their own life; this approach supports self-exploration, identity work, and emotional processing. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences in ways that reduce distress and strengthen coping, making it a common choice for post-traumatic stress and abuse-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Amber Preston collaborates with each person to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time so therapy stays relevant and effective for the client.

Online therapy with Amber can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and access therapeutic support without travel, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists toward meaningful change.
