Amber Rentfro (Dealy), LPC

Amber Rentfro (Dealy) is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. She came to this work after her own experiences with loss and healing, and she brings that personal perspective into sessions. Amber aims to help people feel seen and understood as they navigate hard times.

She focuses on practical ways to manage anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and recovery from trauma and abuse. Her background includes work with mood challenges such as bipolar disorder, substance concerns, and co-occurring conditions. Amber also supports people dealing with relationship and parenting strain, career stress, low self-esteem, anger, and major life changes.

Her approach mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and client-centered work. Sessions tend to combine skill-building, thinking-pattern work, and opportunities to process painful memories. The goal is to help people develop tools they can use between sessions.

Amber has three years of clinical experience working with a range of concerns including abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, codependency, dissociation, and domestic violence. She also offers support around less commonly discussed topics such as BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture when those issues come up.

Sessions are offered in English. She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and sessions are scheduled after completing a short matching questionnaire.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Amber commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values, which can be useful for stress, grief, and life changes.

Amber also draws on client-centered techniques to create an atmosphere of understanding and support. Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and may combine approaches over time.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation for in-depth work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
