About Emily
In 2014 Emily became a licensed LMHC in New York and soon after led a group for individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, building a focused skill set in treating dual diagnosis. In February 2015 she joined the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, providing mental health and substance abuse treatment to incarcerated individuals for nearly six years. That work deepened her understanding of how trauma and abuse shape issues like abandonment, trust, guilt and shame, family dynamics, and parenting.
Emily’s approach to therapy centers on respect for each person’s inner resources. She believes people often hold the answers to their challenges and that the therapist’s role is to create a supportive space to uncover those answers, identify strengths, and develop healthier coping skills. She emphasizes collaboration, practical coping strategies, and facing uncomfortable feelings as part of lasting growth, and she welcomes the opportunity to join clients on a path of self-discovery.
Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Recovery
Emily combines several evidence-informed approaches to meet the needs of people seeking support. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience without judgment - the therapist listens deeply and helps the individual reflect, build self-awareness, and draw on personal strengths to make choices that fit their values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and mood instability through structured strategies and skill-building exercises. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of trauma and abuse by helping clients process painful memories, recognize trauma-related responses, and develop coping tools to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Emily works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the work as those needs evolve. She aims to partner with clients to create a tailored plan rather than imposing a single method.
Online therapy offers flexibility that can make consistent care easier to access. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and there are options for live chat or text-based messaging for between-session support or when scheduling barriers arise. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing, adaptable care that fits into busy lives and varied circumstances.
