About Emily
Emily Altman is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with eight years of practice. She works with people who are feeling stressed or anxious and helps them sort through relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem, and career concerns. Her approach is direct and respectful, and she aims to create a plan that fits each person she sees.
Emily spends sessions listening first, then helping clients name what feels hardest. She uses plain language and practical steps so people can try new habits between meetings.
Background and approach
Conversations are tailored to the situation, whether someone is coping with loss, struggling with motivation, or navigating commitment and communication challenges. She also works with issues related to attachment and abandonment, blended family dynamics, caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, and codependency. Emily helps people look at family of origin patterns and how those patterns show up in current relationships.
That often leads to clearer boundaries and less reactivity. Career-related stress and the confidence gaps that come with it are another focus. Sessions may include setting small goals, practicing conversations, and shifting unhelpful thoughts that hold someone back.
The aim is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes. Emily believes therapy is a collaboration. She treats people with sensitivity and respect and builds a plan that matches each person’s goals.
She works in English and provides sessions in several online formats to fit different schedules and needs.
How Emily Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online
Emily uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer thinking. One common approach helps people identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts, then replace them with more balanced ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and self-doubt. Another approach focuses on communication and behavior changes to improve relationships and reduce conflict by practicing new ways of speaking and setting boundaries.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to decide which methods fit the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helping and what feels manageable.
Online therapy in Emily's practice includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can fit short check-ins, quick coaching between sessions, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and busy schedules.
