How Emily works
Emily has worked with people facing depression, parenting challenges, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem issues, career questions, and ADHD. She avoids stigmatizing labels and centers the person's goals in each conversation. Emily blends several approaches to match what each person needs.
She often uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address traumatic memories, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take meaningful steps. Mindfulness and attachment-informed ideas also appear in her work when they fit the situation. Sessions are collaborative and practical.
Emily listens with curiosity, offers strategies you can try between meetings, and adjusts the plan as things change. She aims to make progress feel doable rather than overwhelming. People who choose her can expect a calm, steady presence and clear suggestions to move forward.

How Emily’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Emily often draws from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. EMDR helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity through structured memory-focused techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change patterns that keep people stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on chosen values and small committed actions toward them.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Emily will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then suggest methods to try. That process is collaborative and may shift as progress is made or new needs appear.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video allows face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and maintain continuity when schedules change.
