Emily Chavie

Emily Chavie is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with 19 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood challenges, and anger. Emily meets clients who are dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, and trauma-related concerns. She focuses on practical, respectful support that aims to restore daily functioning and hope.

Emily combines several therapy approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about close relationships and how to rebuild safety and trust.

Her style is warm and direct. Sessions typically involve talking through recent struggles, practicing new skills, and setting small, achievable goals. She adapts the pace and tools to each person instead of following a rigid program. The emphasis is on useful skills people can apply between sessions.

Emily has worked across individual, group, and couples settings over her career and draws on that experience to tailor plans. She aims to help people improve communication, manage intense feelings, and reconnect with what matters to them. Her approach invites curiosity, steady practice, and gradual change.

If someone is considering therapy, Emily encourages beginning with a short questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment. That initial step helps match goals and figure out practical next steps.

How Emily’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Emily frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors and trying small, practical experiments to change them. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and anger by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new responses.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. DBT strategies are useful when strong emotions make day-to-day life feel overwhelming and when people want concrete tools to manage reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and life demands, then recommend techniques to try. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize CBT exercises, DBT skills, attachment-focused conversations, or a mix of methods.

If you are interested in online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Emily’s clinical methods lend themselves to talk-based sessions and skills practice that can fit into a weekly routine. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills between meetings without extra travel.
