About Emily

Emily Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, eating concerns, and depression.

Background and approach

She frames clients as the experts on their own lives and builds on individual strengths to guide change, offering steady support as people take steps toward greater well-being. Her decade of clinical experience informs a practical, compassionate style that emphasizes collaboration and client agency.

Her work also addresses relationship strain, grief, body image concerns, obsessive-compulsive patterns, phobias, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and broader coping with life changes. Emily draws on evidence-based tools to help clients clarify goals, reduce distress, and develop concrete skills for managing difficult emotions and behaviors.

She aims to create a respectful, goal-oriented therapeutic process that meets each person where they are and supports sustainable progress.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Emily commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practice alternative strategies; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related difficulties. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes values-based action and learning to accept difficult internal experiences while moving toward meaningful goals, a helpful framework for chronic worries and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She partners with clients to understand their priorities, symptoms, and preferences, then tailors techniques from CBT, ACT, or other modalities to best support the clients goals rather than applying a single method rigidly.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals without travel, adapt communication style to comfort level, and maintain continuity of care across changing schedules and circumstances.
