About Ambriel

Ambriel Kinney is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Mississippi with six years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, anger, and relationship or family concerns. Her work also addresses grief, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, and challenges related to attention and mood.

Ambriel starts from the view that each person knows their own story best. She looks for the strengths a person already has and uses those as a base for practical change. Sessions focus on clear steps people can use between meetings to test new approaches and manage strong feelings.

Her style is straightforward and focused on problem solving. She talks through what is happening now and what gets in the way of the next step. When needed, she helps sort priorities like work stress, relationship strain, or managing impulses so people can see a path forward.

Ambriel has worked with issues that overlap with trauma, post-traumatic stress, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with body image, isolation, social anxiety, and women’s issues. Her background includes helping clients face life changes, career concerns, and the mood swings of bipolar presentations.

She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. Sessions are provided in English and are offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Evidence-based techniques and online sessions

Ambriel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical strategies. One common approach is behavioral work that targets what a person does day to day - changing routines, testing new responses, and practicing alternative behaviors to reduce reactive responses. This helps with anger that shows up at home or work and with impulsive reactions.

Another approach involves skills for managing strong emotions and distress tolerance. These are short, teachable techniques people can use in the moment to steady breathing, reduce escalation, and make clearer choices. These techniques are useful for anxiety, sudden anger, and cravings tied to addictions.

Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about current struggles, goals, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the client’s life and adjust as needed based on what works in practice.
