Emily uses DBT-informed and trauma-aware approaches to address emotional regulation and healing. She also integrates mindfulness and cognitive strategies to reduce worry and improve coping.

Sessions are collaborative and practical. Emily listens closely, offers feedback, and helps clients try tools between meetings. She pays attention to how stress shows up in work, relationships, and health.

How Emily’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT often helps with worry, depression, and building problem-solving habits. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose tools that fit their goals, needs, and what feels workable in daily life. That collaboration can include trying a few methods and adjusting as progress happens. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided skill practice. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break or lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between sessions.
