Techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy are used when they match a client's needs.
Emily also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills and existential ideas to help people manage intense emotions and wrestle with questions about meaning and purpose. Work can include skill-building for stress, grounding practices for trauma, and exploring beliefs around body image and eating. Expressive arts, mindfulness practices, and self-advocacy strategies are sometimes incorporated into sessions.
Someone meeting Emily can expect conversational, straightforward sessions that center the client's experience. Emily supports people in navigating life changes, processing loss, addressing addictive patterns, and working on self-worth. The overall aim is to help people notice what matters to them and take steps that fit their life.

How her approaches translate to online work
Emily frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps. ACT involves identifying personal values and practicing simple actions that align with those values, which can help with anxiety, avoidance, and life changes.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, reflecting, and responding to the client's experience without imposing solutions. This approach supports people who need a steady, respectful space to talk through difficult feelings and decisions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Emily will help figure out which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, and will adjust strategies as needed in collaboration with the client.
