Background and approach
That means she listens first, helps people notice how thoughts and actions influence feelings, and supports them in finding their own reasons to change. She also uses short, practical exercises and homework to keep progress moving between sessions. Emily has worked with a wide range of issues over her career, including bipolar disorder, ADHD, obsessive and compulsive problems, panic, and substance use.
She also addresses shame, codependency, family of origin concerns, intimacy problems, and challenges that come with aging or military-related life changes. Her broad experience informs how she tailors plans for each person. Sessions focus on clear goals and step-by-step plans.
Emily helps people set realistic tasks, practice new skills, and track small gains. She stays engaged and encouraging while adjusting the plan as needs change.

How Emily’s Approaches Work Online
Emily combines client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing to help people make practical changes. Client-centered therapy starts by creating a respectful, listening space where the person leads the conversation and sets goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches tools to change patterns that cause distress. Motivational interviewing focuses on finding personal reasons to change and building commitment one step at a time.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps match methods to real-life needs rather than assuming one style fits everyone.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or good when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day and to use written prompts or homework between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility so people can keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other commitments.
