About Amber
Amber Trinkle is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship concerns, family matters, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, and self-esteem issues. Amber also works with adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, communication problems, impulsivity, life-purpose questions, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and women's and young adult issues.
She keeps sessions straightforward and person-focused. Amber uses client-centered conversations to help people clarify goals and make changes they can manage day to day. She brings cognitive behavioral tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for emotion regulation when those techniques fit the concern.
Her approach pays attention to how early bonds shape current relationships. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at patterns in parenting and close relationships. Mindfulness strategies are offered for grounding, managing racing thoughts, or getting better sleep.
Amber has worked across diverse settings, including clients with involvement in the criminal justice system. That background contributes practical skills for handling stress, impulsivity, and the concrete problems that show up at home. She uses motivational interviewing to support decision making and readiness for change.
Sessions are aimed at clear, doable steps rather than long theoretical talks. Amber helps people set short-term goals, practice new skills between sessions, and review what’s working. If you want to explore how therapy might fit into your life, she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How Amber’s therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Amber uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person’s concerns and goals. That means sessions start with listening to what matters most, then shaping the work around those priorities. This approach helps when concerns are about parenting, relationship strain, or deciding what change to try first.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing impulsivity. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help reduce rumination, improve focus, and support better sleep when those tools are a good fit.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amber will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan over time so it fits daily life.
Session-format details are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Amber works with clients to arrange timing and session length that fit practical routines and responsibilities.
