Amber Wilder , LCPC

Amber Wilder welcomes people who are ready to make meaningful changes and is committed to guiding them through whatever brought them to therapy. She approaches each person with an easygoing, nonjudgmental manner and brings compassion and open-mindedness to work together on personal growth and healing. She aims to create a calm, laid-back atmosphere where clients can explore concerns, identify strengths, and set practical treatment goals.

Amber earned a master’s degree from Fort Hays State University and is an LCPC - a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - licensed in both Nevada and Kansas. Her clinical work draws from an array of evidence-informed methods, including cognitive-behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, positive psychology, person-centered approaches, dialectical behavior strategies, psychoeducation, solution-focused work, trauma therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Rather than following a single model, she tailors interventions to the individual’s needs and collaborates on a plan that supports recovery and resilience.

She maintains a private practice schedule, working full time Tuesday through Friday, and checks messages at least twice daily. Amber offers video appointments and live chats Monday through Thursday and strives to respond to messages as quickly as possible - often before 8:00 am or after 6:00 pm when she is at another job. She is invested in walking alongside clients as they pursue a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Amber blends several evidence-informed approaches to support clients in an online setting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful patterns of thought, clarify personal values, and take committed action toward a more meaningful life - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress, and is effective for anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns formed early in life and how they affect current relationships and emotional responses, which can be helpful for intimacy, abandonment concerns, and family-of-origin issues.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Amber works collaboratively to determine what fits each client’s needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts strategies over time so therapy remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility - clients can meet by video, speak by phone, engage in live chat, or use text-based messaging depending on what works best for them. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
