About Emily

Emily Mayback is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 13 years of experience in the human services field. She uses a warm, interactive style that centers the client's perspective and combines practical strategies with empathic support.

Background and approach

Her work draws on evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and the challenges that come with major life transitions. Emily has developed broad experience addressing relationship and family concerns, parenting difficulties, grief and trauma, intimacy-related issues, and substance use including drug and alcohol addiction.

She emphasizes collaborative goal-setting, tailoring treatment plans to each person’s priorities and readiness for change. This approach also includes motivational interviewing to support behavior change and mindfulness techniques to build present-moment awareness and coping skills.

Clients can expect responsive communication during weekdays and a therapist who values balance and self-care. Emily accepts international clients and provides services from her New York practice using a range of online session formats.

She frames therapy as a partnership and encourages people to reach out when they are ready to pursue meaningful change.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care



Emily commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical exercises that can help with emotional regulation and coping with difficult feelings.

She also draws on Client-Centered principles that prioritize the client’s perspective and collaborative goal-setting. Together, therapist and client explore which combination of approaches best fits the client’s needs, goals, and preferences so the plan evolves from an ongoing conversation rather than a single prescription.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity during transitions. These formats provide flexibility for scheduling and allow licensed professionals to use the same therapeutic tools online that they would in person, while adapting techniques to each communication style and practical constraint.
