About Emily
Emily Johnson meets people who are worn down by stress, anxiety, grief, or changes that feel overwhelming. She introduces clear, step-by-step ways to manage symptoms. Emily is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical work in Colorado.
She helps people who struggle with eating concerns, body image, intrusive thoughts, and repetitive behaviors. Emily also supports those dealing with trauma and post-traumatic stress, phobias, social anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression.
How Emily works
Sessions focus on practical skills that can be used between meetings. Emily blends several therapy approaches to match what each person needs. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking.
She brings acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and small, meaningful actions. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are offered for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Trauma-focused work guides recovery after abusive or hurtful experiences.
Solution-focused techniques help set short-term goals and track progress. Her style is collaborative and direct. She listens first, and then suggests simple practices people can try right away.
The aim is to reduce symptoms and build habits that support long-term change. Emily works with people across a range of concerns and draws on a decade of experience to tailor each plan. She encourages steady steps and realistic expectations while helping clients notice what already works in their lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people identify what matters most to them and take small actions that align with those values. It focuses less on stopping difficult thoughts and more on choosing meaningful behavior despite them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that keep anxiety or low mood going.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, dialectical skills, trauma-focused methods, or a mix will best support progress.Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into daily life. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and exercises that need real-time interaction. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people send updates between sessions and keep momentum when schedules are tight. These options aim to make consistent work possible and easier to maintain over time.Start online instead of waiting
