Amber Wilder, LCPC

Amber Wilder welcomes those seeking change with a calm, approachable presence and a nonjudgmental style. She creates a relaxed atmosphere where people can talk openly while working together to build personal growth and healing. With compassion for a wide range of life struggles, she focuses on helping individuals identify strengths and clarify the goals they want to achieve.

Amber holds a master’s degree from Fort Hays State University and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) - a license to provide professional mental health counseling - practicing in both Nevada and Kansas. Her clinical work draws from a variety of evidence-informed methods, including cognitive-behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, positive psychology, person-centered care, dialectical behavior therapy, psychoeducation, solution-focused strategies, and trauma therapy including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). She tailors these approaches to the needs of each person rather than following a single, fixed method.

Working full time in private practice Tuesday through Friday, Amber aims to respond to messages at least twice daily and will typically reply before leaving for work at 8:00 am or after returning around 6:00 pm when she has other employment responsibilities. She offers video appointments and live chat options Monday through Thursday and supports clients through a collaborative process designed to help them live a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Amber approaches therapy as a shared journey and looks forward to partnering with individuals as they pursue change.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Amber Wilder commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy into online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and coping with crises.

She also draws on attachment-based principles to explore how early relationship experiences shape current patterns of relating and attachment, which can be helpful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship repair. Amber emphasizes a collaborative process - she works with each person to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying a single technique.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexible ways to engage in care, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from different locations while working with a therapist to make steady progress.
