About Emily

Emily Meyers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 16 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and the aftereffects of trauma. Her style is warm and practical, and she aims to help people feel steadier in daily life.

Emily blends talk-based work with creative and body-focused methods. She uses techniques that draw attention to how emotions show up in the body. Clients learn skills for emotional regulation and ways to respond differently to triggers rather than react automatically.

Her background includes work with people coping with chronic illness, complex trauma, and high sensitivity. She supports those dealing with grief, relationship challenges, parenting strain, and career-related stress. Emily also addresses concerns like addictions, ADHD, and eating issues through a combination of approaches tailored to each person.

Therapeutic approaches Emily draws from include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She combines these tools to build practical strategies and to strengthen self-trust over time.

Sessions are aimed at building steady skills, restoring regulation, and helping people make meaningful life changes. Emily emphasizes collaboration and gradual progress, meeting each person where they are and pacing the work to fit their needs.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then commit to actions that match their values. ACT can support stress, anxiety, and problems like anger by helping people choose responses that fit their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing new, more effective responses. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emily will collaborate with each person to decide which tools to emphasize based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative planning can shift over time as issues change and new skills are learned.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce commuting time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people attend from locations that are more convenient. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and client-centered techniques effectively in remote sessions to focus on emotion regulation, behavioral experiments, and value-driven action without changing the core of the work.
