Amber Carreau Davidson

Amber Carreau Davidson is a licensed mental health counselor with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, career concerns, compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Her manner is warm and engaging, and she aims to work together with each person to build a plan that fits their needs.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide sessions. That means conversations will focus on practical steps, shifting unhelpful patterns, and addressing the impact of traumatic experiences. Humor and a collaborative stance are part of her style when appropriate.

Clients can expect active, goal-oriented meetings that move at a comfortable pace. Topics Amber has helped with include panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, domestic violence, sexual abuse, dissociation, and difficulties after psychiatric hospitalization. She also supports people with concerns around fertility, pregnancy and childbirth, financial stress, and relationship communication issues.

Amber completed a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling and Family and Marriage Counseling from Barry University. She holds LMHC and LPC credentials and maintains professional development through reading, conferences, and training. She welcomes suggestions for resources clients think could be helpful.

If someone is ready to start, Amber emphasizes taking manageable steps toward change and works to support and empower each person through that process.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Amber uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy as core approaches in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change thought and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, panic, and mood symptoms. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on understanding and reducing the impact of traumatic events, and it can help with post-traumatic stress, dissociation, and trauma-related reactions.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then tailor the plan accordingly. Clients and the therapist decide together how to blend techniques from different approaches to meet specific needs.

Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten the need for travel time, and support steady progress through regular check-ins. It also allows sessions to use different pacing and activities than an in-person meeting, which can be helpful for managing symptoms tied to stress, panic, or trauma.
