About Amber Cooper

Amber Cooper is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania who brings 18 years of experience delivering outpatient mental health therapy. She works with people across the lifespan in individual, couples, family, and group formats, guiding clients through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, parenting challenges, relationship struggles, and life transitions.

Her practice also addresses a range of additional concerns including bipolar and mood disorders, compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, autism and Asperger syndrome, intellectual disability, isolation and loneliness, communication difficulties, seasonal affective disorder, and women’s issues. Amber combines clinical training with a warm, down-to-earth manner, often joining sessions casually and keeping things approachable - she even mentions that her dog will sometimes sit beside her during video meetings.

She regularly uses in-app messaging to check in between sessions and provide feedback, and her schedule has typically been focused on evening hours with occasional Monday and weekend availability. Amber aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored collaboratively, acknowledging the difficulty of trusting someone new while offering steady clinical support and practical coping strategies.

Approaches for Online Care and Skills Building

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive, empathetic relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead to explore thoughts and feelings and strengthen self-understanding. It is helpful for people facing life transitions, low self-esteem, or relational concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often using structured exercises and homework; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies with skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and can be especially useful for intense emotional reactions and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amber works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity between sessions through messaging, and access support from home. Licensed professionals can adapt these modalities to deliver effective, personalized treatment that emphasizes practical skills and emotional support.
