About Emily
With nine years of experience in community settings, Emily has supported people dealing with trauma, relationship strain, career questions, and life changes. She also addresses concerns like codependency, control issues, impulsivity, isolation, and finding life purpose. Her work includes helping people with parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and young adult issues.
Emily uses a flexible, person-centered style that blends several methods to match what a person needs. She often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques. Sessions emphasize clear goals, practical strategies, and steady progress rather than long lists of theory.
She brings a trauma-informed viewpoint when past hurt affects current functioning or family dynamics. Emily also offers faith-informed support when clients want to include their Christian beliefs in sessions, while respecting each person’s own values.
Emily supervises other clinicians and enjoys mentoring colleagues. Because her license is valid in Ohio only, she works with people who are located in that state.

How Emily’s approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It’s useful for those wrestling with life purpose, midlife change, or persistent worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and testing small changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and needs to clarify what they want to change and why.Finding the right approach is part of the collaboration. Emily will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. The plan can be adjusted as progress is made, and she aims to keep goals realistic and concrete.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce commute time. Licensed professionals can still use ACT, CBT, and motivational interviewing effectively when sessions happen remotely, focusing on practical homework and tracking small changes between meetings.
