Background and approach

In sessions she uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts. Dialectical behavior therapy skills help with intense emotions and crisis moments. She also draws on solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and track progress.

With three years of clinical practice, Emily brings experience from a range of settings in Florida. She accepts work through online formats including video calls, phone, chat, and messaging to fit different schedules. Sessions are conducted in English.

Emily aims to make the first steps less stressful. She spends time listening, clarifying immediate goals, and planning simple next steps. People leave sessions with specific things to try between meetings.

Approaches that fit your life, delivered online

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns by teaching concrete thinking and behavior changes.

DBT, dialectical behavior therapy, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. It is useful for people who have trouble with strong mood swings or repeated crisis moments because it teaches grounding, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness skills.

Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small, achievable steps toward clear goals. Sessions often start by defining what will look different soon and then breaking that change into doable actions to try between meetings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try a few different techniques to see what fits. Together you will set short-term targets and adjust methods based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let you have face-to-face conversation when schedules allow. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to use video. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting work, caregiving, or medical needs into your routine.
