Amber Rentfro (Dealy) , LPC

Amber Rentfro (Dealy) is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with three years of clinical experience. She entered this work intentionally, shaped by personal experiences of sadness, struggle, trauma, and growth, and brings that perspective to her therapeutic approach. Amber emphasizes being truly seen and understood while offering steady guidance through life’s challenges, combining empathic listening with practical strategies that support wellbeing and resilience.

She integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Amber works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, depression, addictions, relationship and parenting difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, career transitions, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Her additional focus areas include abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, codependency, communication and control problems, dissociation, and domestic violence. With experience supporting co-occurring conditions and persistent mental health challenges, she uses a collaborative, client-centered method to help individuals better understand themselves and build skills for meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Amber Rentfro (Dealy) uses several evidence-based methods that translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach often used for processing traumatic memories and reducing their ongoing impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Amber collaborates with each person to determine which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time, combining methods when appropriate to create an individualized plan that reflects the client’s priorities.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexible ways to access care without the need to travel. These options allow scheduling around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities and make it easier for people to maintain consistent progress. For many, remote therapy provides a practical path to ongoing support with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor work to each person’s life and circumstances.
