The Open Book Counseling Experience!
Hello, my name is Amber Frazier, and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CMHC) serving Draper, Layton, Salt Lake County, Davis County, and surrounding areas in Utah. I provide in-person and online therapy for individuals, couples, and families seeking support, healing, and lasting change.
Life can feel overwhelming at times. When anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship challenges begin to take over, it is common to question your self-worth, your direction, and your sense of purpose. If you are feeling stuck, burned out, or disconnected, you are not alone—and effective, compassionate help is available.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can openly process difficult experiences and begin to move toward clarity, confidence, and emotional balance. My goal is to help you feel understood while building the tools needed for long-term healing and personal growth.
I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families across Utah, helping clients navigate trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, attachment issues, foster care and adoption concerns, substance use, and relationship challenges.
I specialize in evidence-based therapies tailored to your unique needs, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness-based therapy, and play therapy. I also provide a sex-positive, inclusive environment where all clients feel respected, safe, and supported.
Whether you are located in Draper, Layton, Salt Lake City, or nearby communities, I offer both in-person counseling and secure telehealth therapy sessions across Utah for your convenience.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, and it is also one of the most important investments you can make in yourself. I would be honored to support you as you work through life’s challenges, heal from the past, and build a more meaningful and fulfilling future.

Amanda Lloyd, an Associate Clinical Mental Health Counselor (ACMHC) practicing at Open Book Counseling.
Amanda shared "Life can present us with challenging experiences - issues with family, relationships, loss, shame, grief, transitioning beliefs, substance abuse, unhealed emotional wounds, and self-doubt - that may feel too overwhelming to face alone. I firmly believe that each of us possesses the inner knowledge and strength to find solutions to life's challenges and to uncover personal growth and meaning. Therapy is one way we can tap into this innate power and guide us towards a rich and meaningful life."
Amanda has a deep desire to understand the human experience and feels honored and humbled to walk alongside individuals as they heal from pain and discover new and healthy ways of living. She finds meaning in individual stories and marvels at both the wonderful and tragic experiences of life and our capacity to endure, evolve, and thrive. She grew up being taught that we can create happiness on purpose, and has made it her career to help others find their happiness.
Amanda states "In counseling, it is important to me that each session be person-centered and that I use a holistic approach to healing. I am trained in and utilize Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I am LGBTQ informed, find relevance in feminist theory, and support sex-positive education.
I am committed to offering a safe space for all my clients by meeting you where you are right now, in a supportive and judgment-free environment, and walking with you on your journey of healing and self-discovery.
