Amber Rentfro (Dealy) , LPC

Amber Rentfro (Dealy) is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri who brings both professional training and personal insight to her work. She entered the field after navigating her own experiences with sadness, hurt, trauma, and personal growth, and she believes that being truly seen and understood helps people move toward healing. Amber uses a blend of evidence-based methods - including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) - alongside client-centered techniques to meet each person where they are.

Her practice focuses on supporting people through grief and loss, low self-esteem, trauma, anxiety, and depression, and she has experience working with co-occurring conditions and more persistent mental health challenges. Amber has particular experience supporting individuals with borderline personality patterns and aims to teach practical coping skills while fostering greater self-awareness and resilience.

With three years of professional experience, Amber draws on formal training and lived experience to create a collaborative, compassionate therapeutic relationship. She works to tailor interventions to each client’s goals and pace, helping people navigate relationship and parenting issues, addiction, career concerns, and other life changes while encouraging sustained growth and healing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Amber integrates several therapeutic approaches to address symptoms and life challenges in a collaborative online format. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) focuses on building skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing self-destructive behaviors; it is often helpful for emotional regulation and relationship stresses. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used to process and reduce the impact of traumatic memories by using guided attention and bilateral stimulation to help the brain reframe distressing experiences. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist listens empathically and supports the client’s own capacity for growth and self-discovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Amber Rentfro (Dealy) works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Techniques can be blended and adjusted over time to support progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. This range of options makes it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
