About Amber

Amber Mickelsen is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people navigated periods of change, loss, and uncertainty. She works with adults who already notice patterns in their life but want support turning that awareness into clearer choices and steady direction. Her style is calm and collaborative.

Sessions move at a reflective pace and focus on understanding how emotions and life stories shape current choices. Conversations aim to be practical so insight leads to action rather than more confusion.

Background and approach

Amber combines Jungian ideas about meaning and symbolism with practical therapies like acceptance and commitment work and cognitive behavioral techniques. She pays attention to attachment patterns and how early relationships influence present behavior. This mix helps people who feel stuck to see new possibilities and test them in daily life.

Typical concerns she helps with include stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also addresses more specific struggles such as abandonment, codependency, commitment and attachment issues, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and self-love. With 13 years of experience and licensure as an LCSW in Maine and Utah, Amber brings steady clinical experience to each session.

She favors structured time and focused conversation, and she partners with clients who want thoughtful, intentional work that links understanding to real-life change.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches work online

Jungian-influenced work focuses on meaning, symbols, and personal narratives. In online sessions this often looks like exploring dreams, recurring images, and life stories to find new ways to understand what matters. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and taking values-based actions; it helps with anxiety, depression, and navigating hard life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and coping; the therapist helps identify and shift those patterns to improve emotional responses.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. Sessions can shift over time as new concerns arise or as progress is made, and treatment choices are adjusted together.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions can be quieter and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing processing between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy schedule.
