About Emily

Emily McClure is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPC, LPCC) based in Ohio who works with people navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, career concerns, trauma, and related issues. She emphasizes a person-centered, adaptable style that begins with listening closely to each client's experience and goals.

Background and approach

With nine years of practice in community settings, she brings experience supporting clients through life changes, compassion fatigue, parenting struggles, eating and impulse-related concerns, and areas such as ADHD, bipolar, and codependency.

Her clinical toolkit blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to help clients translate insights into practical steps. She also uses a trauma-informed perspective when addressing the effects of traumatic events on individuals and family systems.

Faith is personally important to her, and she is open to integrating faith-based perspectives when a client wishes to include them. Emily provides supervision and mentorship to other clinicians alongside her direct practice.

She offers sessions via video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging for clients located in Ohio and supports change through collaborative goal-setting, feedback, and celebrating incremental progress.

Practical therapy approaches and online options

Emily commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support people in clarifying their values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; this approach can help with life transitions, rumination, and building meaningful routines.

Deciding on the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most workable in daily life, adjusting methods over time so the plan fits the individual’s needs.

Online therapy with Emily is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing scheduling flexibility and more ways to stay connected between appointments. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals while integrating therapeutic strategies into everyday routines.
