Amber Benamou, LCSW

Amber Benamou is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 11 years of experience. She worked across community mental health, addiction services, and child and family settings. Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, career questions, and coping with life changes.

She earned a Master of Social Work, graduating summa cum laude from Barry University. That background led to work with teenagers, parents of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and people managing anxiety and depression. She also has experience supporting women after childbirth who faced post-partum depression and psychosis.

Her style is collaborative and grounded. She aims to draw out a person’s strengths and work with them on practical solutions. Sessions include conversation, problem-solving, and strategies to manage day-to-day stress and strong emotions like anger.

Amber uses several established approaches to guide the work. She blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness tools to help people notice patterns and try alternative responses. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas are used when someone wants to set goals and move forward quickly.

She values rapport and trust and keeps sessions straightforward. Humor may appear when it helps lighten a tense moment. If someone wants clear steps to handle frustration, relationships, or life transitions, her approach stays focused on skills and real-world coping.

To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
