About Emily
Emily Moley is a licensed mental health counselor based in New York. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, addiction, relationship and family concerns, trauma, parenting challenges, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She has 13 years of experience in mental health work and a practical, down-to-earth style.
Emily uses clear, goal-focused conversations that help people find what works for them. Sessions tend to be collaborative and direct.
How Emily works
She listens for patterns such as impulsivity, control issues, attachment struggles, or shame, and then helps people try different ways of coping. Her training includes a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from St. John Fisher College and a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential.
Early in her career she worked in outpatient settings with people facing anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, and co-occurring substance use. That work grew into leading groups for people with combined mental health and addiction challenges. Emily also spent several years providing mental health and substance abuse treatment inside the New York State corrections system.
That experience deepened her understanding of how trauma, abandonment, and family dynamics shape behavior and relationships. She draws on that background when people bring trauma, guilt, or complex family patterns to sessions. Her approach balances practical skills with personal exploration.
She helps people identify strengths, practice new coping strategies, and make changes that fit their daily life. The tone in sessions is supportive, straightforward, and focused on the next usable step.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding your experience and supporting your own problem solving. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people identify their strengths and choices so they can decide what feels right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful habits; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood problems. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing the hold that past trauma and abuse have on daily life by processing painful memories carefully and building coping tools to manage triggers.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then try methods that match those needs. This is a collaborative process with adjustments over time so the plan fits what actually helps.
Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video is not practical, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, manage bandwidth limits, choose a quieter setup, or have a shorter check-in during a break from work.
