About Emily
Emily Sprang is a licensed professional counselor - mental health service provider (LPC-MHSP) practicing in Tennessee. She helps people untangle relationship problems, intimacy concerns, trauma, and mood challenges. Her style is open and curious, aiming to create a space where clients can talk honestly about hard things.
Emily focuses on trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports people managing bipolar disorder and those dealing with addiction and domestic violence impacts.
How Emily works
Other areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment wounds, body image, codependency, and communication or control problems. Sessions explore patterns that keep problems repeating. Emily helps clients notice how past experiences shape current choices.
She works with practical strategies and steady conversation so clients can test new ways of relating and coping. Her background includes four years of clinical experience as an LPC-MHSP in Tennessee. That experience has involved helping people through divorce and separation, chronic illness and pain, and concerns tied to alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink.
Emily brings attention to both emotional safety and clear boundaries during work together. People who come to her can expect a collaborative approach. Emily listens first, then suggests focused steps aligned with each person’s goals.
She encourages gradual change and checks in often about what is working and what needs to shift.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Emily uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building new skills. One common method involves trauma-focused work that helps people identify how past hurt affects current relationships and daily moods, then practice safer, healthier reactions. Another approach centers on relationship and intimacy work, helping people improve communication, set boundaries, and rebuild connection after betrayal or conflict.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to your goals and tailors techniques to fit your needs and preferences. Together you will try methods and adjust them based on what helps you make steady progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, therapy homework, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit sessions into busy days and to continue work even when travel or schedules change.
