About Emily
Emily Hunt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California. She centers her work on relationships and how they shape feeling safe, connected, and understood. Emily listens closely and helps people name what matters to them.
She aims to make the first steps feel manageable and straightforward. Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening and practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy. That means sessions often include honest conversation about how past and current connections influence moods and behavior, alongside concrete steps to change patterns.
How Emily works
She also draws on emotion-focused strategies and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship issues are a focus. People come to Emily for many concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. She also supports those struggling with intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, anger, and compassion fatigue.
Additional areas she focuses on include body image, commitment and communication problems, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Emily uses short-term tools when helpful and deeper relational work when needed.
She pays attention to strengths as well as difficulties so people can see progress between appointments. With five years of clinical experience, Emily brings steady, empathetic care and practical strategies. She offers sessions in English by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging for people located in California.

Online support options
Using attachment and CBT online to strengthen relationships
Emily often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. Attachment work focuses on understanding patterns of connection and helping people feel more supported in close relationships, which can help with intimacy, jealousy, and family of origin issues.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical approach that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change behavioural patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood disorders, anger, and coping with life changes because it breaks problems into clear steps and experiments to try between sessions.
Choosing the right method is a team effort. Emily talks with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they select strategies that fit the situation, and they adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or brief reflections between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep work moving forward.
