About Amber

Amber Rentfro (Dealy) is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri who decided to become a therapist after working through her own struggles. She speaks plainly about healing and believes being seen and understood helps people move forward. She brings three years of clinical practice to sessions and focuses on helping people through hard moments.

Her work centers on practical skills and compassionate listening. She uses methods such as EMDR, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, and client-centered work.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and aim to make tools easy to use outside of therapy. Amber often helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with bipolar disorder, addictions, anger, compassion fatigue, and difficult life transitions.

Relationship strain, parenting concerns, career stress, and feelings tied to abandonment or attachment also appear commonly in her practice. She has experience with more complex and overlapping issues, including co-occurring disorders, dissociation, domestic violence, and communication or control problems. Amber describes her approach as flexible; she adapts methods to match each person’s needs rather than using one fixed recipe.

In sessions she balances direct skill teaching with empathetic listening. The goal is to help people understand patterns, try new ways of coping, and build habits that reduce distress. She frames therapy as a shared journey toward clearer choices and more manageable days.

Online support

Approaches that guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match your values. It can help when worry, avoidance, or feeling stuck get in the way of living the life you want.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes practical skill building. It helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and teaches steps to change behaviors that keep problems going. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with daily stress.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to address troubling memories and the emotions tied to them. In short sessions it can help reduce the intensity of distressing reminders and support recovery from trauma.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face connection; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t desired. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between meetings or use shorter, focused exchanges when that fits better. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing everyday obligations.
