About Emily

She also uses motivational techniques to support people who are ready to make changes but need help getting started.

Over that time she has supported adults facing a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders, ADHD, addictions, family-of-origin issues, and intimacy-related struggles. Her background includes work with people coping with shame, infidelity, isolation, and other complex emotional problems.
In the first meetings she helps clients set clear, manageable goals and builds a step-by-step plan tailored to those goals.

How Emily’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment. It helps people feel accepted and build confidence to explore difficult feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or low motivation.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and boosts readiness when someone feels stuck. It pairs well with other methods when making changes around substance use, habits, or life adjustments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Emily will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what is helping.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time.
