About Emily
Emily Schram is a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety and those managing depression or major life changes. Emily aims to create a calm space where someone can talk, learn skills, and rebuild a sense of hope.
Emily uses straightforward, skills-based approaches in sessions. She often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test healthier ways of thinking.
Background and approach
She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. Her background includes a master’s degree in counseling and years working in outpatient community and clinic settings. That time gave her experience with trauma, grief, relationship strain, body image and reproductive concerns, and a range of mood and anxiety issues.
She also supports people navigating identity and LGBT-related stress. Sessions are practical and focused on small, achievable changes. Emily helps people build tools for panic, intrusive worry, low self-esteem, and self-harm urges, and she offers specific strategies for postpartum mood struggles and family of origin concerns.
She can also help people explore life purpose and guilt or shame. Emily practices from New Mexico and conducts therapy in English. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can pick what fits their schedule and needs.
How Emily’s Approaches Work Online
Emily often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or depression, then test practical alternatives. That work is useful for panic attacks, worry, low mood, and setting up step-by-step behavior changes.She also draws from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills help when feelings feel overwhelming or relationships feel strained. Solution-focused techniques are used to set small goals and find immediate, workable steps toward change.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Emily will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Together the therapist and client adjust the plan if something isn’t working or if priorities change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversational session and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates between sessions or use brief check-ins during a busy week. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, childcare, or travel schedules, and allow people to choose the style that helps them engage most effectively.
