Amber Benamou, LCSW

Amber Benamou is a Florida licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 11 years of practice. She works with common family and parenting pressures as well as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and anger. Her approach also addresses career strain and coping with life changes.

She trained at Barry University and has worked across community mental health, addictions, and children and families settings. That range informs a practical style that focuses on what people can do right now to feel steadier at home. Sessions mix listening with concrete steps people can try between meetings.

Amber leans on client-centered work and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses mindfulness exercises to reduce immediate distress and solution-focused strategies to set small, achievable goals.

The clinician often helps parents and adults dealing with family conflict, blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, caregiver stress, or parenting a child on the autism spectrum. She also supports individuals facing substance concerns, domestic violence histories, eating-related problems, abandonment wounds, or body image and shame issues.

Her sessions aim to strengthen everyday coping skills and practical problem solving. She works collaboratively to identify clear next steps, build insight, and make changes that fit a person’s life at home and work.
