Amber Benamou, LCSW

Amber Benamou is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 11 years of practice. She has worked in community mental health, addictions, and with children and families. Her focus includes stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, self-esteem, depression, trauma and grief.

Amber often works with teenagers and adults who are managing stress, low confidence, anxiety, family conflict, depression, grief, and trauma. She also supports parents of children on the autism spectrum and people coping with substance concerns or domestic violence. Her language is straightforward and practical.

In sessions she draws on what people already do well and builds from there. She uses client-centered techniques to listen and understand each person. She also uses solution-focused strategies and cognitive behavioral ideas to develop concrete steps and coping plans.

Amber describes therapy as a team effort. She emphasizes rapport and trust as the foundation for change. When appropriate she uses light humor alongside clinical skills to keep the work grounded.

Her background includes work across settings where she helped clients with addictions, family systems, and child-and-adolescent concerns. That range informs her problem-solving approach and her attention to practical life demands like parenting and work stress.
