She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and life transitions.

Emily draws on long experience with mood disorders, substance use, family of origin issues, and co-occurring problems. She describes therapy as a place to be direct about problems and to set clear, achievable goals. That includes working through grief, managing panic or obsessive concerns, and addressing shame or codependency.
She uses plain language rather than clinical jargon. Clients can expect practical tools and parables when helpful, plus regular review of progress and adjustments to the plan. Motivational interviewing techniques are used to support steps toward change without pressure.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Emily uses client-centered work to make room for the client's concerns and priorities. This approach focuses on listening, clarifying what matters most, and shaping goals based on the person's values and needs. It helps when someone wants straightforward support and a clear plan.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. CBT provides simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to change behaviors that keep problems going. That approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive concerns.
Motivational interviewing appears in sessions when someone needs help finding motivation to change, such as with substance use or habit shifts. It uses short questions and reflections to draw out reasons for change rather than pushing a single agenda.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals, try methods, and adjust plans together based on what feels useful. Emily aims to help clients test what works and drop what does not.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments around school or work, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time. Ask about the available session types when you book so you can plan how therapy will fit into daily life.
