Background and approach
Emily encourages clients to set aims that fit their life and pace. Her work often addresses addictions and difficult life changes. She also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, and issues related to domestic violence or sexual assault.

She supports clients as they build better routines, manage symptoms, and handle life’s setbacks.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Emily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thinking patterns that increase stress and to try new ways of responding. CBT sessions focus on specific problems and include practical exercises to use between meetings.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT tools are useful when strong emotions or repeated crises get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. Emily will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to use and will adjust the plan based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel useful and focused.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Messaging and live chat suit brief check-ins, skill practice, and people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, and other daily demands.
