Emily centers sessions on each person's strengths and goals. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and works alongside them to sort out what matters most.
Background and approach
Conversations are practical and aimed at small, steady changes that add up over time. Her work often addresses body image, obsessions and compulsions, phobias, and social anxiety. She also supports people coping with grief, relationship strain, and life transitions.
When trauma is part of the story, she brings focused methods to help with recovery and safety. Emily uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, among others. Sessions can include skill building, values clarification, and step-by-step behavior changes tailored to everyday life.
She practices in Colorado and conducts work in English. The approach aims to be straightforward and compassionate, helping people find realistic ways to cope and move forward.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It combines acceptance of difficult thoughts with practical steps to build a meaningful life and is useful for anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. This approach teaches concrete skills for managing worry, phobias, and obsessive thinking patterns.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels workable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for interactive exercises and face-to-face connection. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing skill practice, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and keep momentum between appointments.
