About Emily

Emily McClure is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPC, LPCC) based in Ohio who helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety, and changes in their lives. She speaks plainly and creates a calm space for people to talk about hard things. Emily aims to understand first and then supports clients in setting and reaching practical goals.

She brings nine years of experience working in community settings and supervising other clinicians. That background means she is used to helping people who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship and career concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar concerns, eating issues, and parenting stress.

Emily uses a flexible, person-centered style. She often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to meet each person's needs. Sessions are collaborative and focused on realistic next steps rather than long lists of theory.

She is open to faith-based counseling when a client prefers it and will respect each person's beliefs. Emily describes her role as a supporter and coach who gives feedback, encouragement, and help building small, positive habits.

Emily only provides services to people who live in Ohio. Before booking, confirm current session options through the Start Therapy flow so you know how sessions are scheduled and delivered.

How Emily Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Emily commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and take small committed actions that match what matters most. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and testing them with practical experiments to reduce anxiety, anger, or low mood.

She also often uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change, helping people weigh options and strengthen their own motivation. These approaches suit common concerns like stress, relationship strain, impulsivity, and coping with life changes. The therapist and client work together to choose what feels most helpful for the situation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Emily will listen to your goals and try different techniques to see what fits. She aims to set clear, achievable steps and to adjust methods based on how you respond so sessions stay practical and goal-oriented.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed in the biography. Ask about the current online options when you use the Start Therapy flow. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time so sessions are more convenient.
