About Emily
Emily Naranjo is a licensed mental health counselor based in New York who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, career transitions, and the practical impacts of life changes.
Background and approach
She brings seven years of professional experience to her practice and works with clients facing attention-related concerns such as ADHD as well as issues around body image, communication struggles, and control patterns. Her approach blends structured interventions with exploration of personal meaning to support real-world change.
Emily integrates cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening and psychodynamic exploration, adapting strategies to suit each person’s circumstances. She also draws on solution-focused methods to identify specific goals and small, achievable steps forward.
Her work emphasizes collaboration, clear goals, and practical tools so clients can address workplace pressures, financial stresses, midlife decisions, and relationship strains. Emily aims to help clients build stronger communication habits, navigate separation or forgiveness, and clarify purpose in their next chapter.
How Emily’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Emily commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address workplace or relationship challenges. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore emotions and priorities while the therapist reflects and helps clarify goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Emily works with clients to determine which methods fit their needs and preferences. She treats the selection of techniques as a collaborative decision, adjusting focus as goals evolve so clients feel involved in shaping their plan for change.
Online sessions are offered via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity during busy periods, support work-life demands, and access care from home or another convenient location while keeping therapy consistent with each person's routine.
