About Emily
Emily Magusiak is a Pennsylvania LCSW with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem issues, mood disorders, and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Emily uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage day-to-day problems. In sessions she listens to what matters most and helps clients identify steps they can take between meetings. She offers support around adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, caregiver strain, communication problems, and control or impulsivity challenges.
Her work also includes support for people navigating fertility issues, maternity loss, divorce and separation, and forgiveness or guilt. She has experience with disruptive mood presentations and with people coping with disaster-related stress. Emily has worked with adults and children, including those with intellectual and developmental disorders.
Emily describes clients as the experts on their stories and focuses on practical strengths people already have. She uses guided techniques in sessions and may suggest exercises to try between meetings. For some clients she offers EMDR sessions as part of her pathway toward certification and can discuss whether that approach is a fit.

How Emily uses evidence-based methods online
Emily works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and everyday challenges. One approach she uses is EMDR-style processing, offered to clients who want to be part of her certification process; this involves guided recall and bilateral stimulation to work through distressing memories and can help when trauma affects day-to-day functioning. Another common method she draws on is structured talk-based work that focuses on managing anxiety, improving sleep, and building coping skills through practical exercises and behavioral changes.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences and will help choose techniques that fit their needs. Changes can be made over time if something does not feel like the best match.

Some formats also allow for shorter check-ins when busy days come up. Licensed professionals can explain which formats they offer and how those will work with a client's routine.
