About Emily

Emily Myers is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio. She brings 14 years of counseling experience and a long history of working in helping roles. Emily trained originally in early childhood education and later earned a master’s degree in community counseling in 2009. She aims to create an approachable space where people can talk about what matters to them right now.

Her background includes work in depression, anxiety, substance use, and family-focused roles. Emily’s sessions are client driven - she follows the topics and goals a person brings. She often uses client-centered conversation, solution-focused steps, and cognitive behavioral techniques as tools in sessions.

Emily worked earlier as a preschool teacher and in customer service before moving into counseling. That mix of hands-on care and practical service shapes how she listens and responds. She explains things plainly and helps people notice small changes that add up over time.

People reach out to address stress, relationships, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, trauma, eating and body image issues, career shifts, and self-esteem struggles. Emily also works with concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication problems.

Sessions focus on what the client wants to work on that day. Emily aims to identify doable steps, reframe difficult thoughts, and build skills for daily life. She encourages collaboration so goals feel realistic and relevant.

How Emily’s approaches translate to online therapy

Emily frequently uses client-centered therapy, which centers conversations on what the person wants to focus on. That approach supports open-ended discussion, active listening, and pacing that fits each person’s needs. It works well for relationship concerns, stress, and coping with life changes.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks thoughts and behaviors into patterns to be noticed and changed. CBT offers practical tools for anxiety, depression, and problem-driven goals by teaching specific skills and small experiments to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Emily will work together with the client to choose which methods feel most useful, and she adjusts the plan as goals and needs change. The partnership guides whether sessions emphasize skill-building, reframing, or narrative work about life events.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to continue care consistently during job or family transitions. Ask about available formats and scheduling when you select the Start Therapy button and complete the matching questionnaire.
