Amberlyn Keller , LPC

Amberlyn Keller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who combines formal training with years of educational and clinical experience to support clients through life transitions, grief, trauma, and emotional challenges. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from York College in Nebraska, a Master of Arts in Applied Research Psychology from The University of Texas of the Permian Basin in Odessa, and a Master of Arts in School Counseling from the University of St. Thomas in Houston. She completed her LPC coursework through Lamar University via online study and holds licensure to practice in Texas.

Before focusing on counseling, Amberlyn accumulated 13 years of teaching and coaching experience across all educational levels, including special education, and served as a part-time adjunct instructor delivering online psychology courses for Midland College from 2005 to 2010. She began formal counseling practicum and internship work in 2015 and has since worked in both private practice settings and a behavioral psychiatric hospital.

Amberlyn centers her work on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques, bringing a pragmatic, realist approach that supports clients in processing grief and trauma while building practical coping skills. She often integrates mindfulness, breathing exercises, yoga-based movement, and other somatic practices when appropriate and comfortable for the client, and she may incorporate tools such as essential oils as adjunctive supports. She works with children, adolescents, and adults and provides care for people navigating traumatic brain injury and other medical conditions, informed in part by her own experience surviving a stroke in 2020.

Areas of focus include stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, bipolar disorder, self-esteem and career transitions, among other challenges. Amberlyn aims to help clients gain perspective, practical skills, and a greater sense of hope with each session.

Evidence-based approaches adapted for online care

Amberlyn Keller draws on client-centered therapy to create a supportive, empathetic environment where the client's perspective guides the work. This approach helps people build self-awareness, improve self-esteem, and strengthen relationships by focusing on the client's values and goals.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT emphasizes skill-building and measurable change that can be practiced between sessions.

Mindfulness therapy is another component of her practice, incorporating present-moment awareness, breathing exercises, and gentle movement to enhance emotional regulation and coping with difficult feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amberlyn works with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress is made.

Online therapy with Amberlyn is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules, geographic limitations, or mobility concerns. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice skills in real-life contexts while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
