About Emily
Emily Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 10 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, depression, relationship strain, grief, and major life changes. She also works with body image issues, obsessions and compulsions, phobias, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety and phobia.
She frames people as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on during sessions. Emily uses clear, practical steps rather than jargon. She listens to how symptoms show up day to day and then suggests small, doable strategies to try between meetings.
Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports noticing difficult feelings without getting stuck and choosing actions that match values. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal interactions.
Sessions focus on skill building, problem solving, and short-term goals when that is helpful. She can also use trauma-focused methods when past events are central to current struggles. The work tends to be practical - setting a few clear steps, checking progress, and adjusting as needed.
Emily works with each person to decide what methods to try first. She encourages small experiments and regular check-ins to see what helps most in everyday life.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Emily commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which can reduce avoidance and build confidence in social or phobic situations. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of her work and focuses on noticing difficult feelings, clarifying personal values, and taking committed steps even when anxiety is present. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving how people communicate under stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit those needs, and adjust based on what helps. This is a collaborative process where the client’s experience guides the next steps.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people find phone-only sessions use less bandwidth, while others prefer video for visual cues; discuss practical needs and preferences when you set up the first appointment.
