About Emily
Emily Magusiak is a licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania with ten years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and trauma. She also supports parents coping with parenting strain, sleeping problems, grief, and compassion fatigue.
Emily works with people who are navigating relationship strain, infertility and maternity loss, adoption and foster care questions, and attachment concerns. She supports those managing ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, and disruptive mood challenges such as DMDD.
How Emily works
She also addresses body image, self-esteem, anger, impulsivity, and forgiveness work. Her style centers on listening first and building on each person’s strengths. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals.
Conversations are grounded and straightforward so people can try small changes between meetings. Emily has worked across settings with adults and children, including those with intellectual and developmental differences. That background informs how she adapts pacing and tools for different needs.
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide care. She offers sessions by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Sessions are available in English, and she accepts international clients.
To begin, the first step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits the client’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Emily uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and symptom relief. One common approach she uses helps people identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety and depression, then practices new ways of responding. This method works well for stress, mood concerns, and self-esteem work.Another approach emphasizes stabilizing routines and daily skills to manage mood swings, sleep, and impulsivity. It teaches step-by-step strategies people can apply right away when emotions feel overwhelming. These tools suit clients coping with bipolar symptoms, ADHD, or disruptive mood challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That may mean trying one method for a few sessions and adjusting based on how it feels.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Video calls let you work face to face, phone work can fit a short break, and live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These formats make it easier to keep consistent care and practice new skills between sessions.
