Amberlyn Keller

Amberlyn Keller, LPC, welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start. She focuses on helping clients manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career changes, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. Her straightforward approach is meant to be practical and easy to follow in everyday life.

She trained in psychology and counseling, holding two master's degrees and completing LPC coursework through Lamar University. Amberlyn began counseling in 2015 after practicum and internship work for school counseling and LPC hours. She also taught psychology courses and spent years coaching and teaching at multiple education levels, including special education and college teaching.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She uses client-centered methods to make space for each person's story, and draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness, yoga, and breathing practices are often used when helpful to manage stress and build coping skills.

Her background includes work in private practice and a behavioral psychiatric hospital, and she has lived experience recovering from a stroke in 2020. That experience informs her comfort with medical issues and with supporting people who face loss, bereavement, and health-related changes.

Amberlyn describes therapy as a sequence of purposeful conversations where clients talk, think, and try new ways of handling life. The aim is to leave each visit with a clearer perspective and tools that can be used between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Amberlyn commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in her sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and helping the client guide the conversation so their goals shape the work. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors, helping people try small changes that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She also integrates elements of dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation and coping skills are needed. DBT-style techniques teach practical skills for tolerating distress, managing strong emotions, and improving communication in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amberlyn will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together she and the client decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what helps most.

If you are considering remote sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, fit into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow regular check-ins between appointments. It also lets therapists use guided breathing, brief mindfulness exercises, worksheets, and paced conversations in ways that fit a client’s routine.
