About Amber
LISW in Ohio with eight years of professional experience, Amber Asher focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work.
Amber starts from the view that each person knows their story best and brings strengths to change. Sessions emphasize practical steps and clear goals. She frames the work as a collaboration where the client’s values guide the focus and choices made in therapy.
Her background includes program development and clinical service roles across several care settings. She has worked in inpatient and residential programs, outpatient clinics, and intensive outpatient programs. Those roles have included both clinician and clinical director responsibilities, giving experience with a range of treatment levels and day-to-day clinical operations.
Amber earned a master’s degree in Social Work from Northern Kentucky University and holds the Licensed Independent Social Worker credential. She has taken clinical trainings that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy concepts and has participated in local committees on substance use disorder, mental health impacts, and homelessness.
In sessions she uses straightforward, evidence-informed approaches such as ACT and CBT alongside motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques. Her work addresses issues like attachment difficulties, codependency, communication problems, control issues, and complications related to divorce or separation. She also helps people dealing with drug and alcohol addiction, mood concerns, and questions about life purpose.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her online work focuses on clarifying values and developing small, practical actions that align with what matters to the client. It helps with anxiety, stress, and life changes by shifting attention toward chosen behaviors rather than symptoms.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT sessions typically include skill practice, simple behavioral experiments, and short homework tasks to reinforce progress between meetings.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who are hesitant about change, especially around substance use or impulsive behaviors. It centers on exploring ambivalence and strengthening personal motivation to take concrete steps.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adapt methods based on the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That process helps determine which approaches or combination of methods fit best.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Ask about available session formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
