Amber Poma

Amber Poma is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and isolation and loneliness. She keeps conversations respectful and direct. Amber encourages honest feedback so sessions can shift if something isn’t working for the person in front of her.

She uses a short intake conversation to shape how she’ll work with someone. That plan is adjusted over time based on what helps. Sessions focus on practical steps and small changes that fit into everyday life. Amber aims to make progress feel doable rather than overwhelming.

Her practice draws on a mix of therapy styles to fit different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s own goals at the center of each session. Mindfulness practices are brought in to reduce reactivity and ground difficult feelings.

Over seven years of clinical experience inform how Amber responds to trauma, mood shifts, and compassion fatigue. She pays attention to guilt, shame, and self-esteem struggles and works to strengthen self-kindness and self-love. The approach is collaborative and paced to the individual.

People who reach out will complete a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions based on therapist availability. Amber asks for open communication so therapy can adapt as life and needs change.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and values and asks the therapist to follow the client’s lead. It helps when someone needs a listening space and a plan shaped around what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers clear exercises to break unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple noticing and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and bring attention back to the present moment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amber will talk with each person about what they want to change and what feels useful, then try approaches that fit those goals. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit visits around work, reduce travel time, and make shorter check-ins easier. Others find it helpful to practice grounding and behavioral strategies between appointments, which the therapist can support through ongoing sessions and homework-style exercises.
