About Amber
Amber Lynn Dicker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina who helps people facing anger, trauma, anxiety, depression, and stress. She also supports clients dealing with self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and life changes. Her style is practical and focused on building skills people can use right away.
Amber uses straightforward methods to help people notice unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that get in the way of daily life.
Background and approach
She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to teach coping skills and reduce intense reactions. Sessions look at patterns, identify small goals, and practice new responses. Her work often centers on understanding how past hurts and attachment issues affect present reactions.
She helps people process trauma responses and work through feelings like guilt, shame, emptiness, or impulsivity. She also supports those navigating adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, and problems with communication. Amber aims to make therapy manageable.
She breaks down problems into clear steps and focuses on what someone can do between sessions. The goal is steady progress through skill-building rather than quick fixes. With nine years of clinical experience, Amber brings a calm, goal-oriented presence to sessions.
She speaks English and sees clients in South Carolina, offering several online formats to fit different needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Amber blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in ways that focus on practical change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors that follow, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal functioning, which can help with impulsivity and relationship problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to choose methods that match the client’s goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaboration can involve trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text options let someone check in between longer sessions or use shorter, more frequent check-ins. These formats help people fit regular care into work, school, or caregiving schedules and support steady skill practice between meetings.
