About Emily
Emily Moley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and trauma. She also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, and issues with self-esteem and intimacy. Her approach is down-to-earth and practical.
Emily uses straightforward conversation to help people find their own answers. She draws on client-centered work to follow each person's pace and priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns of thought and behavior that make problems worse.
Background and approach
Her clinical background began with a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from St. John Fisher College. She has practiced for 13 years and became a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor in 2014.
Early work in outpatient clinics exposed her to anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and co-occurring substance use concerns. She later provided mental health and substance abuse services within the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. That experience deepened her focus on trauma, abandonment, trust, guilt, shame, and family dynamics.
It also informed how she helps people rebuild coping skills after difficult experiences. In sessions she focuses on collaboration. She helps people identify strengths, test small changes, and practice healthier ways of responding.
Sessions aim to replace old coping habits with tools that fit day-to-day life. Emily offers talk therapy and practical strategies for real problems. She works in English and sees clients based in New York.
The tone is steady, nonjudgmental, and geared toward gradual progress.
How Emily’s approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist creates space for people to talk through what matters most and helps them notice their own answers. This approach is useful for building trust and addressing relationship, self-esteem, and parenting concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses clear tools and small experiments to break cycles of worry, depression, or impulsive behavior. That makes it helpful for anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD patterns, and addictions.
Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding how past hurts affect present life. It helps people name trauma responses and develop healthier coping skills for triggers, guilt, shame, and attachment issues.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust methods over time as progress is made.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits brief check-ins or when writing helps process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity between appointments.
