About Emily
Emily Cyburt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 12 years of experience in outpatient mental health. She lists stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns among her core areas of practice, along with issues like self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Emily notes a focus on social anxiety and phobia as one of her areas of work.
She works with teens, young adults, and middle-aged people. Sessions center on clear conversation, practical skills, and reflection. Emily expects effort in and between sessions and frames therapy as collaborative work toward specific goals.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Community Counseling, and she has held national counselor certification since 2018. She uses Client-Centered approaches alongside cognitive and emotion-focused methods to address thinking patterns, emotion regulation, and relationship interaction.
In sessions she mixes talking with skill practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques aim to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills through in-session exercises and homework. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) work focuses on how feelings show up in relationships and communication. Solution-Focused elements help set short-term, concrete goals to measure progress.
Emily also offers psychoeducation about how symptoms and relationship patterns form, so clients better understand what they notice and how to respond. She describes her style as direct and honest, non-Christian based, and oriented toward practical steps and commitment to the work. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Emily often uses Client-Centered Therapy to let clients lead the conversation while she reflects and clarifies what they say. This approach helps people who find it hard to speak up or who want a space to sort through thoughts without being told what to do.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking. CBT includes in-session exercises and homework to build coping skills for anxiety, panic, and social fears. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used to look at how feelings affect relationships and communication, which can help with intimacy and conflict concerns.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to choose approaches that match the client’s goals, preferences, and situation. That means adjusting techniques and homework based on what feels manageable and useful.
